There’s no MLB All-Star Game this year but the annual All-Star Live auction event will go on.
Delayed a couple of months, the 16th annual catalog sale will again be conducted by Hunt Auctions. It will include the personal collections of Vin Scully and Barry Larkin. Bidding will go live online Friday August 28 with the auction ending on September 23. We’ll have more details soon.
Mike Trout knows about the big price his 2009 Bowman Chrome 1/1 SuperFractor sold for over the weekend.

Bidding for the highest graded T206 Ty Cobb with Cobb Tobacco back from the “Lucky 7 Find” a few years ago is now at $455,000. It’s a PSA 4.5 and Mile High Card Company’s auction still has over a week to run.
WSAW-TV in Wausau, WI paid a visit to Fritsch Cards to talk about the recent sale of that 1986-87 Fleer Basketball case for $1.79 million.
Upper Deck is helping Tiger Woods’ TGR Foundation with a new sales initiative. Through September 8, Upper Deck will donate 25% of all Tiger Woods authentic memorabilia purchases that are made through the specially marked TGR Foundation catalog or through UpperDeckStore.com with code ‘TGR’ at checkout.
The items include tournament-worn items.
The foundation “assists underserved students with the resources and support needed to pursue and achieve success in school and beyond,” according to Upper Deck. To date, TGR Foundation has reached over one million youth, teachers and families around the world.
