SCP Auctions is gearing up to unveil its Spring Premier catalog, a treasure trove of iconic sports memorabilia and high-grade vintage cards that will have collectors and enthusiasts buzzing. One of the standout pieces in this auction is the only known George Mikan Minneapolis Lakers warm-up suit, a symbol of basketball history that comes complete with a jacket and pants signed by the legendary player himself. Authenticated by Sports Investors Authentication, this remarkable ensemble is expected to command a staggering sum of $400,000.

Basketball aficionados and collectors of sports history recognize George Mikan as a transformative figure in the game, making his memorabilia, particularly game-worn items, highly sought after.

For fans of Pete Rose, SCP presents the second-ranked master set of his cards, building on the success of their previous sale of the top-ranked set last autumn. The auction also showcases significant pieces of Shohei Ohtani memorabilia, such as the jersey worn on Jackie Robinson Day in 2023, projected to attract six-figure bids, and Ohtani’s milestone 200th career home run ball.

Adding to the allure are two pairs of game-worn shoes from the legendary Michael Jordan, a Roberto Clemente cap, a Ronald Acuna Jr. jersey authenticated through photo-matching, and a signed jersey worn by Tua Tagovailoa in 2023.
