A collection of memorabilia sold for nearly $2 million at auction.
Per Ben Tobin of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Hunt Auctions put up "more than 400 pieces of Bench's collection" that were sold on Saturday.
"At the Hall of Fame, only about 10-15% of their collection is on display," Bench told Tim Sullivan of the Louisville Courier-Journal. It's all great, but how many people get to go in the basement and do the white glove deal? It’s all in boxes. I don't want to be a box. I want to be where people appreciate it, and I know the benefits will come to my kids.
