Tim Brown’s 1987 Heisman Trophy sells for record $435,762
A few hours after Oklahoma’s Kyler Murray captured the 2018 Heisman Trophy on Saturday night, a collector paid a record price of $435,762 for Tim Brown’s 1987 Heisman Trophy in Goldin Auctions’ 2018 Holiday Auction.
“We believe this is one of the most significant trophies to ever be offered at auction and collectors agreed as the bidding was fierce,” said Ken Goldin, founder of Goldin Auctions. “It’s rare when a Heisman becomes available and even more unusual for it to be from an NFL Hall of Famer who played at the most storied college football program.”
