A game jersey worn by US baseball legend Babe Ruth has become the most expensive piece of sports memorabilia after being sold for more than $24 million USD.
The final price New York Yankees jersey Ruth wore in Game 3 of the 1932 World Series was $24,120,000 / €20.728.250 euros and followed a six hours bidding war.
The jersey was snapped up by a private collector who has remained anonymous.
The price achieved by US auction house Heritage Auctions knocks fellow Yankees legend Mickey Mantle out of the record books, where he’d been since August 2022.
That’s when Heritage sold a high-grade example of Mantle’s iconic 1952 Topps card for $12.6 million USD €11.3 million euros.

'I feel like I've been run over by a tank': Scottish woman breaks world sheep-shearing record
Una Cameron has sheared 517 sheep in a feat of athletic endurance to rival those of any Team GB Olympian.
On Wednesday, Cameron, 51, shattered a world sheep-shearing record at a farm in Cornwall, cropping a remarkable 517 sheep in nine hours - an effort described by one expert as the equivalent of running two marathons back to back.
Speaking the morning after, Cameron said she, unsurprisingly, felt "like I've been run over by a tank ... I am sore. My body hurts in places I didn't know I had."
Una Cameron who at the age of 51 has broken the world female sheep shearing record. Pictured at Trefanck Farm, near Launceston, Cornwall.
Una is pictured with Matt Smith, the current male sheep shearing record holder, and owner of the farm.

Una Cameron has sheared 517 sheep in a feat of athletic endurance to rival those of any Team GB Olympian.
On Wednesday, Cameron, 51, shattered a world sheep-shearing record at a farm in Cornwall, cropping a remarkable 517 sheep in nine hours - an effort described by one expert as the equivalent of running two marathons back to back.
Speaking the morning after, Cameron said she, unsurprisingly, felt "like I've been run over by a tank ... I am sore. My body hurts in places I didn't know I had."

World record price for Star Wars action figure
Ferrari Press Agency
Boba Fett 1
Ref 15903
02/06/2024
See Ferrari text
Pictures must credit: Heritage Auctions
A Star Wars action figure has sold for a world record auction price for a toy from the movie franchise of over half a million dollars.
The prototype of bounty hunter Boba Fett went for $525,000 USD / €483.580 euros after an online bidding war.
That was more than double the previous record of $236,000 USD / €217.380
The toy, known as the "L-Slot" variant, is particularly desirable because it was never mass-produced.
Makers feared a rocket firing mechanisation could be a choking hazard for children.
The 9.25 cm tall prototype of the rocket-firing action figure was from US-based toy maker Kenner's 1979 Star Wars line.
The figure was expected to be released in 1980 for the second ever Star Wars movie, The Empire Strikes Back.
The figure was put on display at the 1979 New York Toy Fair but it never made its way into the market.
The world record figure was sold by US based Heritage Auctions based in Dallas, Texas.
OPS: The Boba Fett action figure sold for a world record price.

Abused, expelled, orphaned at eight months: how athlete Bob Beamon beat the odds - and became a legend.
In 1968, in one of the top five Olympic moments of the last century, the long jumper Bob Beamon made a leap so jaw-dropping it inspired the superlative Beamonesque. He discusses pride, pressure and the politics of that momentous Summer Games.
Robert Beamon is an American former track and field athlete, best known for his world record in the long jump at the Mexico City Olympics in 1968.
Bob Beamon, 1968 Olympic Gold Medalist for Long Jump and Olympic record holder, prepares to handout trophies at the NCAA DII Track and Field championship.
