I bought a jersey at a charity auction. The auction sponsor is no longer available to provide a basis for the value. Can I use the bidding starting value the basis?

If the starting amount is something that can be documented, you might be able to use the starting bid as a reasonable estimate for the cost basis that you actually paid for the jersey.
