The Heisman Trophy will be awarded on Dec. 13 in New York City.

But you could take one home five days earlier.

Mastro Auctions will auction off Charles White’s 1979 Heisman on Dec. 8 at the Sports Museum of America.

The price could be steep. The record auction price for a Heisman is $395,240, for the trophy that Minnesota halfback Bruce Smith won in 1941.
