Mile High Card Company is back with a bang, presenting collectors with a golden opportunity to acquire some of the most sought-after sports cards and memorabilia in their first major auction of 2024. With over 2,000 lots up for grabs, this event is a treasure trove for enthusiasts looking to add rare pieces to their collections.
One of the standout attractions of this auction is the top-ranked PSA graded 1968 Topps Registry set, being auctioned card-by-card. This prestigious set includes PSA 10 copies of legendary players like Mickey Mantle, Johnny Bench (rookie), Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente, Rod Carew, Pete Rose, and a PSA 9 Nolan Ryan rookie card. For collectors aiming to elevate their PSA Set Registry collections, the high-grade singles from this set are a must-have.
Early bidding frenzy has already pushed the prices up on some high-value items, notably a 1997 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems #23 Michael Jordan card, one of the 90 red versions, which has exceeded the $100,000 mark, indicating strong interest and competition among collectors.
Basketball enthusiasts can also rejoice as the auction features a PSA 8.5 Wilt Chamberlain 1961-62 Fleer rookie card, while hockey fans will have the chance to vie for a 1966 Topps USA Test Bobby Orr rookie card graded PSA 8.5, a prized possession in the hockey card collecting community.
In addition to these modern gems, the auction presents a range of pre-war classics, including early Ty Cobb cards and other vintage treasures like a 1909-11 T206 Sweet Caporal 150/649 Christy Mathewson White Cap SGC 8 and various 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig cards. The post-war highlights are equally enticing, with key lots featuring a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle #311 SGC 4, 1948 and 1949 Bowman Jackie Robinson cards, and high-grade cards of Johnny Bench, Pete Rose, and Mickey Mantle from the 1950s to the 1970s.
