Former NFL running back Adrian Peterson has made it clear that he is not selling any of his memorabilia, including his 2012 NFL MVP trophy, despite an estate sale company advertising the items in an online auction. Peterson, in a video posted online, stated that the estate sale company included some of his trophies in the sale without his authorization, despite his explicit instructions to leave personal items untouched. He emphasized that he did not authorize the sale of any of his trophies and intends to take legal action against the company.
The former Minnesota Vikings star allowed the company access to his storage units with clear instructions to not touch his personal items. However, as of late Thursday morning, several trophies and collector's items were still listed for bid in the 'Adrian Peterson Final Auction' hosted by Houston-based TexMax Auctions. Neither Peterson's representative nor the auction company responded immediately to requests for comment.
The auction includes a wide range of items such as Peterson's clothes, designer shoes, artwork, football cleats, and even a custom-made alligator chair. NFL memorabilia is also prominently featured in the list of items for sale. Peterson, known as A.D. ('All Day'), assured in his video statement that he is financially stable and would never sell off his hard-earned trophies. He expressed his intention to pursue legal action against the company and humorously mentioned that if he were to sell his trophies, he would do so through proper channels rather than randomly online.
It is evident that Peterson is taking a firm stance against the unauthorized sale of his memorabilia and is prepared to protect his belongings through legal means.
