Thirty years ago, Emmitt Smith made a mark in NFL history that still stands unrivaled today. His extraordinary season with the Dallas Cowboys secured him the NFL MVP award, a Super Bowl championship, and the Super Bowl MVP honors. As a tribute to this legendary year and Smith’s illustrious football journey, eBay and Notable Live have partnered up to host an anniversary auction. This auction offers fans and collectors the unique opportunity to own a piece of sports history.
Opening this Friday, the auction showcases significant milestones from Smith’s career that span from his high school days to his record-breaking college years and ultimately his renowned tenure with the Dallas Cowboys. Each item has been carefully selected to commemorate memorable moments in NFL history.
Among the treasures available for bidding are various items associated with Smith’s career. These include the helmet he donned during his high school football days, symbolizing his early potential and passion for the game. The jersey he wore in his final game at the University of Florida signifies the end of his college dominance and the beginning of his professional legacy. Fans can also bid on the football carried by Smith in Super Bowl XXVIII, securing his MVP honors and immortalizing his Super Bowl success. Another touchdown football from Super Bowl XXX further cements his status as a Super Bowl legend.
For fans looking to own a piece of Smith’s record-breaking achievements, there is the game-used football from the moment he became the only player in NFL history to surpass 18,000 rushing yards. Additionally, the cleats he wore as he broke Walter Payton’s record for the most 100-yard rushing games can be obtained. The auction also features a game ball from Smith’s 237-yard game against the Eagles in 1993, setting a single-game rushing record for the Cowboys. Finally, fans can bid on Smith’s uniform from his eighth and final Pro Bowl appearance, celebrating his long-standing excellence.
This auction not only celebrates Smith’s 30th anniversary of a seminal year but also reflects his journey from a high school sensation to an NFL legend. Smith has been sharing pieces of his career through auctions recently, but this event, timed to coincide with Super Bowl LVIII, holds particular significance. It offers a comprehensive look at his remarkable career through memorabilia that fans can now own.
Mike Antonucci, co-founder and CEO of Notable Live, expressed his excitement for the auction, stating, “We are excited to celebrate Emmitt’s career milestones by offering one-of-a-kind items to fans, exclusively on eBay.” Smith himself shared his pride in his career accomplishments and his enthusiasm for sharing his personal collection with fans through this exclusive event with eBay.
The auction promises to be a highlight for sports collectors and fans alike, providing a rare chance to acquire authentic memorabilia directly from one of the greatest running backs in NFL history. As bidding opens in the Notable Live eBay store, enthusiasts will have the opportunity to secure their own piece of football history, commemorating the legacy of Emmitt Smith and celebrating the enduring appeal of the sport.
