Christopher Reeve’s Screen-Worn Superman Suit, Kobe’s Jersey, Hit Auction

Sotheby’s is preparing one of its most remarkable memorabilia auctions to date, bringing together iconic artifacts that span cinema, sports, and political history.

At the center of the sale is a complete Superman costume worn by Christopher Reeve across several films—an instantly recognizable symbol of heroism that is expected to fetch between $600,000 and $800,000.

But the auction’s star power doesn’t end there: bidders will also have a chance to own a game-worn Kobe Bryant Lakers jersey, a rare piece tied to one of the most influential athletes in NBA history, and an elegant violet wool maternity coat worn by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis on the night John F. Kennedy secured his 1960 presidential victory.

Together, these items form a curated snapshot of American culture, each carrying a story rooted in achievement, legacy, and the figures who shaped an era.
