Matthew Broderick's iconic Ferris Bueller's Day Off vest sells for eye-watering sum at auction
Matthew Broderick's vest from his classic 1986 high school comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off just sold for an eyewatering sum. Inasmuch as the movie was set over the course of one day, the vest was featured throughout its runtime, becoming indelibly fixed in fans' memories. Viewers who fell in love with the film will instantly remember the camel and black geometric design of the acrylic yarn garment. Ferris wears the piece all over Chicago, including during the fan favorite sequence set at Wrigley Field during a 1985 Cubs game against Montreal. The vest at some stage wound up in the hands of Emmy-winning sportscaster Darren Rovell, and ultimately went to Sotheby's New York, which put it up for auction. Although the lot was initially expected to earn between $300,000 to $600,000, the vest was ultimately sold for $279,400 after 11 bids, Sotheby's said in a news release, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Directed by John Hughes, who was famed for 1980s high school comedies like The Breakfast Club and Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off was an instant hit. Its rollicking plotline follows the title teenager (Matthew) playing truant from high school for a day with his girlfriend (Mia Sara) and best pal (Alan Ruck). The movie's costume designer Marilyn Vance actually initially acquired the costume piece as a cardigan, then sliced the sleeves off to create a vest. She hoped the look of the garment would give viewers a sense of Ferris' rebellious nature, his charisma and his singular personality, per Sotheby's. 'The only real expression of color in Bueller's entire wardrobe, Vance's sweater vest immediately became the character's signature piece and emblematic of his most exciting quality — the ability to blend in anywhere, while standing out just enough to get exactly what you want from the world around you,' the auction house stated. Bidding opened on the lot on June 5 and closed this Tuesday, June 24 at around 11am Pacific time when the vest finally sold for its head-spinning sum. It was bundled together as part of a package deal with several other pieces of memorabilia, including a ticket to the real Cubs game where the Wrigley Field sequence was filmed almost exactly 40 years ago in September 1985. Other items in the lot include a 1980s National League baseball with a fake Charles Feeney autograph, plus an index card with Matthew Broderick's real signature. The buyer is also receiving a 1987 VHS of the film, plus 1980s ticket stubs to see the movie at a Japanese theater and at a Showcase Cinemas location. Also in the lot is a ticket stub to a 1985 Chicago Cubs vs Atlanta game that is shown being played on a TV in the movie, plus a Ferris Bueller Bullies trading card. Sotheby's vice chairman of popular culture Ralph DeLuca said: 'Few items in film history carry the instant recognition and cultural weight of Ferris Bueller's sweater vest,' in a statement given to WWD. 'It's more than just a costume - it's a piece of 1980s Americana that embodies a character, a decade, and a universal sense of youthful rebellion.'

Steph Curry-signed Topps NOW card sells for record $518k
A Steph Curry Topps Now 1/1 autographed card sold for an almost inexplicable $518,500 on Saturday night, breaking the record for the price paid for a Topps Now card. The card came from Curry's famous "Nuit, Nuit" Olympic gold moment when the U.S. men's basketball team defeated host France on Aug. 10, 2024. Industry estimates for the card were in the $100,000 range. Advertisement Topps Now sold Olympic sets in the Summer of 2024 with the 1/1 autographed chase cards randomly sent. The top chase — a card signed by Curry, Kevin Durant and LeBron James — has famously never been found. A Gold 1/1 of the card, unsigned, sold for $53,680 in a Goldin Auction last year. The Curry card was received by a lucky collector and sent to PSA, where it received a 10 for the card and a 10 for the auto. The 2024 card beat out a 2009-10 Curry National Treasures RPA out of 99, which sold Saturday night in Goldin for $317,811. Darren Rovell is the founder of cllct and one of the country's leading reporters on the collectibles market. He previously worked for ESPN, CNBC and The Action Network.

Happy Gilmore cups and other collectibles Fickle's buying
CINCINNATI, OH - APRIL 11: Tsung-Che Cheng #71of the Pittsburgh Pirates throws during the game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on Friday, April 11, 2025 in Cincinnati, Ohio. (Photo by Ryan Meyer/MLB Photos via Getty Images) I'm not sure if you heard, but Mantel is going to be at Fanatics Fest. And not only are we going to be there, but we're partnering with Bleecker Trading for a week of trade nights and other assorted fun. I found out about this on Instagram . I was then given a half-hearted invitation two weeks later. 'Sure you can come! Maybe there will be drinks!' Advertisement So… come meet your Mantel friends the week of Fanatics Fest. J.R. Fickle may be there. Depending on the drinks situation. Speaking of NYC card shops, this was a neat post from our pals at Montasy Comics: You love stories like this: A regular of the shop pulled a Cheng Tsu Che Superfractor and understood how much it meant to the owner, Jimmy Chen. The regular sold it to Montasy without, it seems, blinking an eye. The card then unexpectedly graded out as a 10. You want feel-good stories? There you go! A Cheng Tsu Che Superfractor isn't going to get a Dave & Adam's bounty; this card is more about the personal connection to Taiwan and the player/hobby than anything. And isn't that why we do this?? Darren Rovell announced this week that he was selling his Ferris Bueller movie-worn vest on Sotheby's. It's estimated to get between $300,000-$600,000 when the dust settles on June 24. Advertisement I don't really have much commentary here except I wonder if Darren Rovell would have invited me to a party at Fanatics Fest before my extended family saw it on social media and then asked if that's the company I painstakingly research and write a newsletter for each week and will I be at the party? But maybe not, who knows! What I'm Buying This Week I know you look forward to this. Away we go! Any non-base Cheng Tsu Che card I can get my hands on before I go to NYC for Fanatics Fest . Then I'm heading to the Montasy booth to negotiate hard and pull at heartstrings all day. Some iron-on printer paper and a comfy t-shirt to copy, print out, iron on, and create my own Bella Freud t-shirt, which is the cheapest thing Sotheby's is selling under 'collectibles' – at $135 . I think I'm going to buy a Josh Berry Panini Instant card which technically qualifies as a Caitlin Clark rookie. I can't see this being worth more than $22 ever, but you never know. 2021 Mars Attacks cards . This may be dated by the time you read this (aka a few hours after writing it), but Elon Musk is doing a classic WWF 'face' turn. At this point he'll probably be revealed as the customer who sold the Cheng Tsu Che Superfractor to Montasy. And if you want a piece of Musk, who could emerge as a spurned, angry anti-hero (the kind of stuff that drives up card prices), look no further than this 2021 Topps On Demand set of cards. They're already 'not cheap' but four years after they were made, to see a line of Teslas ready to attack martians, led by Musk… or the 'Electric Van of Terror '... it's funny. And it's weird. And it's history! And I think prices may go up as this all plays out. The Olivia Dunne SI Swimsuit Issue ($17.99) — I know, I know. But hear me out. Livvy Dunne is still pretty much a slam dunk for collectors right now. Soap bars made with her and Paul Skenes' shared bathwater would sell out in under a minute. She's known about the Mantel party for months. I don't think SI Swimsuit issues are going to rocket in value anytime soon, if history is any indication. But here's the weird thing about 2025 — I'm not sure people know how to actually buy the magazine. Even someone as skilled as J.R. Fickle had to do several searches to find a suitable platform for the Livvy Dunne cover; I saw the Salma Hayek one in Wal-Mart and that's what got me thinking about this. In other words, this could be a relatively rare piece of literature if there's ever any demand down the road. FAST FOOD PORTION OF THE NEWSLETTER!!! I don't think these will sell out like McDonald's cups did last summer, but the Subway Happy Gilmore 2 cups might be cool to just own and drink out of and then be sad as the design fades after you send it through the dishwasher 3-4 times. Advertisement They don't actually look like they're made for re-usability based on the photos, but you never know. We had a good laugh about Sydney Sweeney's bathwater soap last week …and then it immediately sold out and hit the resale market for $150-250. Rule 1 of 'a run' is wait three weeks. That soap is going nowhere. As fun as it is to imagine people with the lights dimmed, candles lit… Sydney Sweeney soap is actually sitting in a box at a re-seller's house, waiting to be shipped at $250. Which fantasy is more absurd? And just to tie this 'let the hype die down' up with a nice little bow, you may remember the praise I heaped upon Topps Celebration when it was released, and my plans to wait until resellers dropped prices to about $60. Wait no longer, people! Not only did I not have to pay $60, I also didn't have to go through a reseller — I found a box at Target! And then the manager invited me to the Target Fanatics Fest party and said it would be weird not to, as we had just met and I seem like a nice hard-working young lad. Wish me luck as I open my Celebration packs! See you all next week! Your collection deserves a community. Download Mantel today.

Matthew Broderick's vest in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' could sell for up to $600K at auction
Anyone with a half million dollars of loose change to spend on a piece of iconic '80s fashion? Anyone? Anyone? The vest Matthew Broderick donned nearly 40 years ago for "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" is going under an auctioneer's hammer with an estimated price between $300,000 and $600,000. Sotheby's auction house is set to take bids on the garment, owned by former ESPN reporter Darren Rovell, until 2:01 p.m. ET on June 24. The vest has minimal "pilling and loose threads consistent with age and production-use," Sotheby's said. Broderick, 63, was a successful young Broadway actor when he became a household name thanks to the classic John Hughes coming-of-age comedy. He played charming slacker Bueller, who faked being sick and enjoyed a glorious day of hooky in Chicago with his girlfriend, played by Mia Sara, and pal, portrayed by Alan Ruck.
