A new record price has been paid for a Stephen Curry jersey.
Curry’s jersey from Game 6 of the 2022 NBA Finals, the only one he wore in the Warriors' title-clinching victory in Boston, sold for $2.45 million in a private sale that was announced over the weekend. Curry scored 34 points in the game and won his only NBA Finals MVP.
The jersey was previously sold in 2022 by Barry Meisel of Meigray for $1.7 million. Meisel confirmed to cllct the initial sale was conducted through the Meigray Golden State Warriors game-worn program.
The new price paid is the highest ever for a Curry gamer, besting the previous record of $1.758 million paid last year for the second game of the star’s career in which he scored the first 3-pointer of his career.
The most expensive Curry card ever sold fetched $1.08 million, making this jersey the most valuable Curry-related piece of memorabilia to sell publicly.
The buyer was represented by Curio Advisor and wishes to remain anonymous.
"With this Curry jersey, there’s already a precedent established for his high-end market, so we can use previous comparable sales times his market multiple to find valuations that are comfortable for both parties," Curio Advisor's Bradley Calleja said. "There’s more buy-side demand in sports memorabilia right now than I’ve ever seen, especially with items of the highest quality.
"We’ve also never had more engagement from institutions, investment funds and even countries that are looking to expand their portfolios to include not just blue-chip art, but game-worn memorabilia. Pieces like this are timeless, and sit at the confluence of authenticity, scarcity and virality."
