Late Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay's memorabilia collection brought in $93,656,609 during live auctions from Thursday to Saturday with Christie's, with online auctions ongoing.
Christie's pre-auction estimates for the items being sold in March was $40 million.
While Irsay's collection was heavily music-focused, a number of notable sports items sold: the saddle used by jockey Ron Turcotte as he rode Secretariat to the 1973 Triple Crown sold for $1.524 million, the most ever paid for a horse racing item; the Edmonton Oilers jersey Wayne Gretzky scored his 500th NHL goal in sold for $952,500; Muhammad Ali's fight robe from Ali vs. Liston II -- his first public appearance after changing his name from Cassius Clay -- sold for $444,500; a Jackie Robinson bat from the 1953 season sold for $406,400; and a Mead spiral notebook containing 28 pages of Sylvester Stallone's original "Rocky" script sold for $508,000.
