Late Celtics champion Bill Walton to have collection of eclectic items auctioned off

Bill Walton amassed quite the collection of unique of memorabilia from both his personal life and time in the NBA. And now fans have the opportunity to take home a piece of the late legend’s life.

Walton, who died in May 2024 at 71 after a battle with cancer, will have 600 items auctioned off by his estate. The list, which shouldn’t come as a surprise, is quite eclectic.

One of the notable items is Walton’s California driver’s license that expired in 1999. His passport form 1970 is also up for auction.

Walton was a big fan of the Grateful Dead, and there is a drumhead autographed by Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Phil Lesh — among others — among the items up for auction.

Other items include: a collection of VIP passes from Grateful Dead concerts, his 1985-86 NBA Sixth Man Award, Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame ring, 1977 Portland Trail Blazers championship ring, UCLA varsity basketball captain letterman’s jacket, a letter on Michael Jordan and much more.
