Description
Game-used player bench chair authenticated on-site by The Realest team during the 2024 TIAA B1G Basketball Tournament. Sat in by Iowa Women’s Basketball player #22 prior to the start of the 1st quarter, with 10:00 remaining on the clock. This moment marked the anticipation of the championship game’s opening tip-off.
The chair also saw action during the Men’s Basketball Tournament Championship on March 17th, 2024, where it was used by the Fighting Illini. The Realest’s authenticators were present to witness and verify its use, ensuring its provenance and a direct connection to both tournaments.
Bearing visible wear from game-day use, this chair serves as a tangible piece of basketball history, bridging two defining championship moments.
Disclaimer: Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique wear and markings that highlight its authenticity as a game-used item.
