Diego Maradona’s iconic 1986 World Cup ball—used for the “Hand of God” and his legendary solo goal—sold for $3.35 million, falling far short of the $10 million expected. While the ball sparked global nostalgia, it paled in comparison to Maradona’s own jersey from that match, which fetched $9.3 million in 2022—still the most expensive sports memorabilia ever sold. Even Messi’s 2022 World Cup jerseys netted $7.8 million, showing that apparel from historic moments outsells the actual game equipment. The sale underscores the wild unpredictability of the sports memorabilia market, where Babe Ruth’s jersey once hit $24.1 million.
