The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) announced on the 8th that it will launch special officially certified products for baseball fans to commemorate the '2026 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO All-Star Game' and conduct an auction.

According to the KBO, the newly released products include uniforms and caps actually worn by players during the All-Star Game, game-used balls with visible traces of pitching and hitting, locker nameplates branded with the All-Star emblem, and replica trophies identical in specification to those awarded to the All-Star Game MVP and Home Run Derby champions, enhancing their collectible value.

All products will be affixed with a hologram sticker certifying them as official KBO merchandise, accompanied by an authenticity certificate. In particular, for game-used balls, fans can directly verify specific game situations—such as which player's at-bat or pitch the ball was used in—by scanning the QR code and entering the authentication number included on the certificate.

The auction will be exclusively held on 'Collects,' a specialized platform for rare collectibles. Starting July 11, when the All-Star Game concludes, auctions for players' worn uniforms will run for ten days. Following that, from the 15th, players' caps; from the 16th, game-used balls; and from the 17th, replica trophies, nameplates, team-signed uniforms and caps will each be auctioned sequentially over seven-day periods.

In last year's 2025 All-Star Game auction, Hanwha Eagles' Moon Hyun-bin's worn uniform sold for 3.5 million won, receiving strong support from baseball fans. This year, fierce bidding competition is also expected.

A KBO official stated, "We plan to continue striving to provide various experiences that allow baseball fans to commemorate meaningful games and collect related merchandise."

Meanwhile, detailed information regarding the 2026 KBO All-Star Game officially certified products and auction can be confirmed through the official Instagram channels of both the KBO and Collects.
