Speaking of iconic athletes. Did you see what the Jesse Owens gold medal went for in the current SCP auction? A Ruthian 1.5 million!

Safe to say, nothing of Jeter's, Kobe's, Brady's, or Manning's will ever approach that!

I'm not saying which reach the price levels but which reach the iconic status for our generation(s)?

Brees is amazing so is Marino but 40 yrs from now I think Montana, manning, maybe elway and farve surpass them by far at least in memory.

Throw out your local team affiliation. Which one item would you love as a holy grail today? Jordan finals GU? Jeter world series bat? Pujols ws 3 home run bat? Manning GU sb jersey with sb patch? Superbowl, finals or ws ring..jeter, Kobe?

I hope that goes to a museum, not some billionaire hoarder's personal stash

I believe Cal Ripken Jr. needs to be in the discussion as well.

Too early to say for sure, but Trout is shaping up nicely. Hard to beat Pujols' first 11 years' numbers. Hope he comes back healthy next year.

What about hockey? Mario & Crosby are my favorites

As a pittsburgher, i agree with Mario and Sid. But I reluctantly have to give it to Gretzky as the icon.

Does anybody have an idea how many Gretzky jersey are out there and the value? He has to be up in price
