Jack Lambert rarely has attended team functions since his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1990, and his reclusive nature has contributed to a rising interest in his memorabilia from an 11-year career with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Famed auction house Lelands.com has secured a game-used 1977 white road jersey worn by Lambert, and it has proven to be the headliner among 34 Steelers-related items being auctioned off as part of the site’s spring classic collection.
The Lambert jersey already has received six bids with a current high of $16,105, easily making it the most attractive item in the Steelers collection. The jersey was photo-matched by the Steelers to footage from the 1977 season, and the jersey includes a dozen team repairs.
The auction began May 17 and runs through June 19 at 11 p.m. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Steelers memorabilia will be donated to the Chuck Noll Foundation for Brain Injury Research.
Another popular item up for auction is a game-used jersey worn by recent Hall of Fame member Troy Polamalu from the 2004 season. The white road jersey was photo-matched to four games from that season. It has a high bid of $8,052.
Other items that have drawn interest include a 1976 Mel Blount jersey ($6,655 bid), a 1974 John Stallworth jersey ($5,845), a 1992 Rod Woodson jersey ($4,392) and a 2001 jersey worn by Hall of Fame running back Jerome Bettis when he surpassed 10,000 career rushing yards. That jersey is going for $4,831.
Non-jersey items include a Super Bowl XLIII six-time champions watch, a throwback helmet worn by Brett Keisel from 2007-11, and four game balls presented to Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Ham.
