Overview
- Christie’s will stage a series of New York auctions beginning in March 2026 to disperse the late Colts owner’s renowned memorabilia trove.
- The family says most items will be sold while select pieces will be kept to honor Jim Irsay’s legacy.
- Highlights include instruments tied to the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix and Prince, Muhammad Ali’s “Rumble in the Jungle” belt, Secretariat’s saddle and an early copy of the Declaration of Independence.
- A portion of the proceeds will go to philanthropy aligned with causes important to Jim Irsay, according to the family’s statement.
- Parts of the collection have toured widely, including a yearlong exhibition at Indiana University that concluded in September, and Irsay once said he was offered more than $1 billion for the trove.
