Argentines are still living with conflicting feelings eight days ago when soccer legend Diego Armando Maradona died, even though grief is prevalent, and manifestations of this condition have already begun to emerge, whether with initiatives to sell his possessions at auction, issue a commemorative coin for him, get a tattoo with his picture, or even launch a name Maradona on newborns.
Collectors of rare collections are trying to take advantage of the opportunity and display their belongings or things bearing the signature of the late star in exchange for astronomical prices, although these pieces were offered for sale at really high prices even before the death of the late legend..
A ball bearing the famous sports sign (Adidas), which he played in the 1986 World Cup in Mexico and called (Jalisco), signed in the handwriting of Maradona and the rest of the team crowned the tournament, for 81 million pesos, or the equivalent of 996 thousand and 187 dollars, according to (Mercado Libre) Mail.
Eight thousand new and used items related to Maradona have been sold on the site, as the Boca Juniors shirt bearing the late star’s signature costs 20 million pesos (245,610 dollars)..
Indeed, the obsession with signing Maradona extended to other non-sporting pieces such as guitars, cigar boxes, hats, pictures and scrapbooks, while his pictures appeared on commemorative coins, magazines, books, paintings and dolls..
