You might own the card. Now you can own the jersey.
Heritage Auctions is offering the camo style shirt worn by Fernando Tatis Jr. on the day he recorded the first four hit game of his career as a member of the San Diego Padres in its monthly Sports Showcase Auction.
The moment was commemorated on a Topps Now card the next day.
Worn during his rookie season of 2019, the jersey carries MLB Authentication and has been photomatched to that game against the Atlanta Braves. It’s expected to sell for $20,000 or more when bidding wraps up later this month.
The auction includes over 500 lots, primarily sports cards, headlined by a 1996 Skybox E-X 2000 Kobe Bryant rookie card graded PSA 10 that carries a pre-sale estimate of $60,000+.
Other card highlights include multiple 1986-87 Fleer Basketball complete sets and Michael Jordan rookie cards, a 1987-88 Fleer Basketball wax box, a 1957-58 Topps Bill Russell rookie card, 2000 Bowman and Bowman Chrome Tom Brady rookie cards (each graded PSA 10) and PSA 10 examples of Ken Griffey Jr.’s 1991 Topps Desert Shield and 1993 Topps Finest cards.
There are multiple Jordan-signed pieces including a 2009 “Hall of Fame Edition” Upper Deck Authenticated jersey that carries the serial number of MJ’s number 23. Baseball Hall of Famer Lee Smith’s 1995 All-Star Game jersey is also among the items up for grabs in the auction, which runs through October 23.
