High-End Sports Auction Includes Vintage, Modern Cards, Historic Memorabilia

By

The live element became a victim of the MINT Collective’s decision to postpone its planned Las Vegas event on Monday, but the high powered auction that was set to be part of it is still on.  The planned sale of 25 high powered sports artifacts is set to run through January 29.

The MINT25 Auction is being conducted through Lelands and includes rare sports cards and historic memorabilia.

Among the items being offered are a Tom Brady 2010 New England Patriots signed, game-worn, photo-matched jersey, a 2000 Playoff Contenders Brady Championship Ticket Rookie Autograph card graded BGS 8.5/9, Babe Ruth’s 1918 Hillerich & Bradsby bat contract signed six times by Ruth, a complete T206 set missing only Honus Wagner and a Michael Jordan jersey from his 1998 game-winning buzzer-beater against the Atlanta Hawks in what was his legendary final season with the Bulls.
