Rare, autographed Zuckerberg baseball card and NFT
photographed by Irvin Simon Photographers goes to auction on
September 24
NEW
YORK, Sept. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Back in
1992, Irvin Simon Photographers, the largest independent school and
sports photographer in the New
York area, captured a picture of an eight-year-old
Mark Zuckerberg posing with a
baseball bat. Now known as the CEO of Meta (Nasdaq: META),
Zuckerberg's autographed little league trading card and NFT,
including documents that authenticate its existence, is being
auctioned this week. The once-in-a-lifetime auction is hosted by
ComicConnect, the leading auctioneer of vintage comic books and pop
culture memorabilia.
Professional photos of a childhood experience – whether for a
new school year or a sports team – capture priceless memories that
aren't just about today, but tomorrow and beyond. "Every kid
deserves a beautiful photo that showcases who they are, even if
they're not Mark Zuckerberg," says
Steve Miller, President and CEO of
Irvin Simon Photographers. "Every child's photograph we take is
special, and we are delighted to see the value of a childhood
portrait represented at the auction."
In 1992, Zuckerberg was an eight-year-old boy who attended
Elmwood Camp in Westchester County, New
York. According to his trading card, he weighed 48 pounds
and had a .920 batting average. Today, future change-makers are
getting their pictures taken, safeguarding special moments in time.
So, hold onto your school and sports portraits because they become
more valuable with time.
