Kylie Kelce has said she found it 'mind-boggling' that a vintage Eagles jacket – signed by her – would sell for $100,000 at auction.
The iconic '90s Letterman jacket was made famous by Princess Diana. A signed version – signed by the wife of Eagles center Jason Kelce – went on sale last month, with proceeds going to the Eagles Autism Foundation.
The price rose thanks to a bidding war between Rob McElhenney and a mysterious rival who turned out to be his wife Kaitlin Olson.
The creator of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and co-owner of Wrexham AFC ultimately had to pay $100,000 for the jacket.
The spiraling bidding war surprised Kelce, who admitted, “It's mind-boggling. I can't thank them enough for being so generous… it's quite absurd.”

The 31 year old was a guest on the latest episode of New heightsthe popular podcast hosted by Jason and Travis Kelce.
“I am extremely grateful to the McElhenneys,” she said. “We had absolutely no idea that auctioning a copy could raise so much money.”
Chiefs star Travis Kelce also called the madness “absurd,” but he praised his sister-in-law, telling her, “You killed it… you're a star in every form of the word.”
Also in the episode, Travis revealed what Taylor Swift's brother gifted him for Christmas the first time they celebrated the holidays together.

Kelce revealed that he was the man dressed as Santa Claus who arrived with Taylor and sat next to her during the game.
Travis continued, “He nailed it, and he really made me feel like a kid because his gift to me came straight out of the bag, into Santa's sack.
“He presented me with a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time, Little Giants.”
