A basketball jersey of the Punahou school worn by former student Barack Obama. The auction ended Friday for the jersey that President Barack Obama would have worn. Obama wore this number during the 1978-79 school year in Honolulu.
DALLAS >> A basketball jersey allegedly worn by former President Barack Obama in Punahou was auctioned for $ 120,000.
Heritage Auctions said the jersey was sold Saturday night in Dallas to a collector of American artifacts and sportsmen who did not want to be identified.
The jersey was donated by Peter Noble, who was three years behind Obama at Punahou School. Noble, who is now 55 and lives in Seattle, said the jersey was destined for the trash when he picked it up. Years later, he saw an old Obama photo wearing a No. 23 jersey at school.
The auction house indicates that the details of the shirt match that of Obama.
Noble says that part of the sale will go to school.
