Autographed Fournette jersey auction for S.C. flood relief smashes previous record
Live for just 48 hours, bidding on the benefit auction that includes a signed Leonard Fournette jersey and memorabilia package with all proceeds going to South Carolina flood relief has exceeded expectations, according to reports.
Bidding on the game-worn jersey used during LSU’s game against the Gamecocks earlier this season is at $40,000 with five hours remaining, as of 6:30 a.m. EST on Monday. The auction ends at noon EST.
According to ESPN’s Darren Rovell, the previous high paid for a game-used college jersey was $26,290 for one worn by by Notre Dame standout and NFL Hall of Famer Paul Hornung.
Bidding for Fournette’s jersey began at $7,000 last week. The package also includes signed helmets by Steve Spurrier and Les Miles.
