Mile High Card Company has opened its Extra Innings Auction with over 500 lots available.
Among the highlights is a higher grade 1962 Topps near set, including all green tint and pose variations and multiple complete vintage baseball card sets.
The auction is designed for collectors on smaller budgets, but with a healthy dose of popular star cards, sets and lots.
Other high-profile offerings that launched Monday include a 1934 Goudey #37 Lou Gehrig PSA 2.5, a complete set of 1970 2019 Hanes Michael Jordan cards, multiple 1986-87 Fleer Jordan rookie cards including a BGS 8, complete sets of 1958 and 1959 Topps baseball, near sets of ’60 and ’61 Topps, a 1980 Topps baseball unopened box and other vintage unopened material as well as numerous T205 baseball cards.
Bidding continues through July 1.
The auction is a prelude to the company’s next major catalog sale in August, which features a T206 Honus Wagner. Consignments are still being accepted.
