Isiah Thomas Calls Out Auction House Trying To Auction Off His Stolen All-Star Game MVP Trophy
Auction House ‘Heritage Auctions’ is currently auctioning off Isiah Thomas’ 1984 All-Star Game MVP trophy.
The main problem though is that Isiah Thomas himself says that the trophy was stolen from the high school where it was displayed at, and that it should be returned to him.
“This trophy was stolen from St. Joseph High Shool the night Mr. Pingatore my coach died it belongs to me. You stole my trophy please return it!”

Heritage Auctions in the meantime has withdrawn this auction, and canceled previous bids. The auction originally was destined to end on August 29.
“Heritage goes to every length to ensure the authenticity and provenance of the items that are consigned to us. We take the concerns and allegations of Mr. Thomas very seriously. We will investigate them as expeditiously as possible.”
