70th home run ball - $3m
The most expensive item of sports memorabilia ever sold at auction is the ball hit by Mark McGwire for his record-breaking 70th home run in a single season in 1998.
The ball was sold at a Guernsey's auction in New York in 1999 for $3m to Todd McFarlane. The price was 23 times higher than the record price for a baseball.
