The High School jersey worn by Akron's own LeBron James while playing for St.V and made famous by his first Sports Illustrated photo shoot in 2002 will be auctioned off later this month.

The gold mesh #23 'Irish' jersey was allegedly given to its current owner/seller by James many years ago.

Early bids are already into five figures and a portion of the sale will be donated, according to the auction house.
