After Ohio State clinched the national championship against Notre Dame in January, photos of Buckeyes players savoring victory cigars swept across the internet. Among the celebrations, one cigar made its mark—literally—by burning a hole in an official College Football Playoff Ohio State team chair. This uniquely marked chair is now among the intriguing items up for grabs in a special auction hosted by LC Events/Buckeye Cruise for Cancer, running through Saturday night.
For collectors and fans, the silent auction offers some remarkable memorabilia, including that infamous chair with the cigar burn. Bidding online is open until 9:45 p.m. on Saturday.
Other enticing items in the silent auction lineup include a CFP team chair signed by Jeremiah Smith, a national champions edition record player, an Emeka Egbuka autographed football, and two Authentic Game-Worn Rose Bowl jerseys signed by JT Tuimoloau and Donovan Jackson. Rounding out the range is an autographed helmet from Caleb Downs.
Meanwhile, the live auction, featured at the "Saddle Up at the Woody" event, promises even more exclusive treasures. Highlights include a 2025 national championship ring, autographed jerseys, a game-worn OSU helmet from the national championship signed by Ryan Day, the eye-catching Goodyear Tire OSU Helmet Sculpture, a VIP trip to the 2025 Wisconsin game, and an OSU-themed Black Diamond Cruiser Golf Cart. It's a veritable feast of Ohio State history and fandom, offering items that would catch the eye of any Buckeye enthusiast.
