In the current PWCC Marketplace Premier event, the spotlight shines on a collection of sports cards that embody the essence of collecting. With notable entries such as Connor McDavid’s 2015-16 Upper Deck The Cup Rookie Patch Autograph, graded BGS 9.5 and numbered to 99, the auction has already seen bidding reach six figures, with more time left for bidding.

One of the most anticipated cards in the auction is a Wayne Gretzky rookie card. With only 93 achieving a PSA 9 grade, this card is expected to command a price exceeding $100,000. The presence of Michael Jordan, a basketball legend, adds to the auction’s prestige. One of his 1997 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems Red cards, despite its ‘Authentic/Altered’ designation, stands out for its rarity and desirability among collectors of Jordan memorabilia.

The auction doesn’t solely focus on hockey and basketball. It also extends into the realms of baseball and football, offering equally impressive offerings. Among the vintage baseball cards are a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #181 rated PSA 6, a 1948 Leaf Ruth SGC 8, and two 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle cards graded SGC 4 and PSA 3 respectively. Additionally, a 1952 Berk Ross Mantle graded SGC 8 adds to the collection’s allure.

Football enthusiasts will be delighted to find Patrick Mahomes well-represented in the auction. Cards such as the 2017 Panini National Treasures Red NFL Shield 1/1 RPA graded BGS 9 and the Panini Prizm Gold rookie auto rated BGS 9.5 highlight the achievements of this three-time Super Bowl champion.

The auction also showcases other Jordan memorabilia. Collectors can find a 1984-85 Star Company XRC card graded BGS 8.5, a 1986-87 Fleer rookie card graded BGS 9.5, a 1997 Finest Embossed Refractor card numbered out of 74 and graded PSA 10, as well as a 2003-04 Topps Chrome Xfractor LeBron James rookie card numbered out of 220 and graded BGS 9.5. These items further enrich the collection’s diversity and appeal, attracting fans of both basketball and card collecting.
