Vintage cards and high-end memorabilia share the stage with modern icons in Goldin’s newly launched Spring Elite Auction. The new auction features more than 2,300 premium items, including a Ty Cobb bat, a pair of early Michael Jordan dual autographed shoes, a PSA 7 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle and a 2003-04 Exquisite LeBron James rookie card graded 9 by BGS.
The James card and 1920s era photo-matched Cobb bat had already reached the half million dollar in the first 36 hours of bidding. One of two 2014 Panini Prizm World Cup Gold Prizm #12 Lionel Messi (#02/10) cards graded PSA 10, stood at over $300,000.
The twice signed Jordan shoes date to his rookie season. They were originally sold in a charity auction on September 9, 1985 and come with a letter of authenticity from Bulls Trainer Mark Pfeil, among other documentation.
“Our last auction received more than 75,000 total bids which is a record for Goldin and is indicative of the fact that the hobby is more popular than ever,” remarked Executive Chairman and Founder Ken Goldin. “The items included in our Spring Elite Auction are representative of multiple eras as well as multiple collectible categories.”
