This 2012 GMC Yukon XL played a crucial role in Scottie Scheffler’s rise through the golf ranks. The family car transported Scheffler to junior tournaments and college competitions, and when his father passed the car down to him, he drove it to Monday qualifiers and during his lone season on the Korn Ferry Tour. In 2022, the Yukon made the trip to Augusta National for Scheffler’s first Masters victory. Now the golf pro has donated the car to Triumph Over Kid Cancer.

Urban Art
Paul Insect’s landmark 2007 solo show, Bullion, catapulted him to fame in the London art world, thanks in large part to Damien Hirst buying the entire show before it opened. The urban artist makes Dada-influenced modern art that is frequently playful and darkly funny, and he often uses deep swaths of color, spray paint and stencil. This signed, dated and numbered screenprint, complete with sparkling glitter accents, is from an edition of 50 and published by Avant Arte.

World Coins
Besides being the crowning jewel of The Gatsby Collection, an extraordinary curation of pre-1960 South African coinage, the legendary “Single 9” overstrike of the 1898 Pond is the crowning jewel of the entire South African numismatic field. Dubbed “The King of South African Coins,” this coin is undeniably one of the most valuable and rare world coins extant. It boasts a fascinating pedigree, including once being part of King Farouk’s illustrious “Palace Collections of Egypt.”
