The final Yankees scouting report of a high school player named Derek Jeter has hit the auction block.
The report, written by scout Dick Groch in April 1992 on the high school senior from Kalamazoo, Michigan, is being auctioned by Heritage Auctions. The initial bidding started Tuesday at $12,500.
"This could go for $40,000, $140,000 or more than $240,000," Chris Ivy of Heritage Auctions said. "It's just a one-of-kind item like when we sold Curt Schilling's bloody sock (for $92,613) or the bat shard Roger Clemens threw at Mike Piazza (for $47,800)."
There isn't an established precedent with the sale of scouting reports, as not many have come to market and certainly not with the importance of the Jeter document.
