Want to buy Jamie Gold‘s (pictured) World Series of Poker bracelet? You can! Heritage Auctions will auction off the bracelet and a commemorative watch in July. Gold’s bracelet could carry significant weight given that it came as a result of defeating the largest Main Event field in WSOP history at nearly 8,800 players. Gold earned $12 million for the victory back in 2006 and is still third on the all-time WSOP money list behind Antonio Esfandiari and Phil Hellmuth.

Gold was a one-man wrecking crew down the stretch, eliminating seven of his final eight opponents en route to a record-breaking payday. He outlasted Paul Wasicka heads-up and, according to the description on Heritage Auction’s website, the bracelet (pictured below) is fittingly quite flashy: “The bracelet features 259 stones including over seven carats of diamonds and 120 grams of white and yellow gold. Rubies are inset to create the red of the heart and diamond suits, while a sapphire represents the spade and three black diamonds the clubs. The clasp is stamped ’14K.’ Fine condition. An absolutely amazing representation from one of the most talked-about WSOP events in history.”

Corum made the watch, which is listed as being in “absolutely mint, unworn condition.” There is plenty of fancy lexicon to describe it: “The design screams Las Vegas flash, from the royal flush pictured beneath the domed crystal of the watch face, to the dollar sign second hand, to the real diamonds that run the perimeter of the bezel.” Gold’s name is inscribed on the inside along with his final table chip count.

Now, the question becomes, how much will the bracelet and watch go for? One poster on Two Plus Two speculated, “I wish the gold and stones weren’t worth so much. From a sports collectibles angle, I’d buy it as an investment. But the meltdown value is greater than the historical value.”

Gold’s bracelet is the latest in a string of WSOP and Main Event bracelets to pop up. In 2010, Main Event winner Peter Eastgate auctioned off his heirloom for charity. The bracelet ultimately went for $147,500, which was given to UNICEF. You might recall that poker pro Tony G had threatened to buy the bracelet and use it as a collar for his dog.

Earlier this year, 2007 Main Event champ Jerry Yang’s WSOP bracelet found its way to an IRS tax auction, with the lot reportedly going for $30,000. Preliminary WSOP tournament winners to sell their bracelets include T.J. Cloutier and Paul “Eskimo” Clark; both went for about $4,000 each. Cake Poker purchased Cloutier’s bracelet and promptly returned it to him.

As one person on Two Plus Two put it, “Amazing to think that now the 2006 and 2007 Main Event champs have had to sell their bracelets. This is when poker had really hit its huge stride in the world and was at its biggest, and both of them just disappeared into thin air, only to show up 6-7 years later.”
