“These objects are really historical objects, and there’s tremendous interest in sports all over the world. And I think that, you know, when I think about the things that Sotheby’s sells and the scope… If you think about art, you know, something is important to art history. You know, this is important to the joint history of Los Angeles. And so many people care about it and covet these items. You know, to me, it makes perfect sense.”
