Lenny Dykstra's treasures command top dollar at auction
Lenny Dykstra‘s 1986 World Series ring sold for more than $56,000 on the auction block late last week from Heritage Auctions in Dallas.
Estimated to sell for $20,000, the auction closed at $56,762.50 (including buyer’s premium) with the winner a New York-based collector. In all, Heritage sold 11 lots of Dykstra items for more than $162,000.
“The winning bids far exceeded initial estimates on several other Dykstra items,” said Chris Ivy, Director of Sports Memorabilia at Heritage Auctions, in a news release. “For example, the home run ball he hit to win game three of the 1986 National League Championship Series, originally estimated at $4,000, brought an astounding $31,070.”
