Fans also have the option of bidding for jerseys live as and when the match is taking place. The next thing you know, you are owning not just a piece of cloth, but a piece of history. 

As per Tennis World, Ohanian said in a recent interview, “There’s a big emphasis on the stories that match-worn shirts hold that other asset classes just don’t have. And on Momento Market, you can even bid on match-worn shirts LIVE while watching the game.”
