Sports Cards Live: Auction Nights

We witnessed the highest selling women's sports card of all time!

The July 2025 Fanatics Collect Premier Auction ends on Thursday July 24, 2025 and all-access extended bidding starts at 7pm PST. Jeremy is joined by Adam Gray (@thereal27guy) to watch the bidding in real time and provide commentary, analysis and education on the lots up for auction. There are 166 lots in total including a plethora of grail and dream cards!

In this episode of the Fanatics Collect Weekly Auction Ending Watch Party, we cover another action-packed night of live auction commentary featuring high-end cards across all sports. From vintage to modern, baseball to basketball, this one had it all — including a wild comparison between two Peyton Manning NFL Shield autos that sold for $84,000 and $7,800.

🏀 In basketball, we analyze key 90s Jordan and Kobe inserts, including a Planet Metal PSA 10 that hit $22.2K and a Star Ruby Duncan rookie that reached $8.7K.
⚾ In baseball, the spotlight lands on Bonds essential credentials, multiple Jeter rarities, and a Trout Cognac parallel.
🏒 In hockey, we talk eye-popping patches (literally — a Corey Crawford eye patch!), a PSA 9 Messier rookie, and a Bedard 1/1 rookie.
🏈 Football brought heat with a Peyton Contenders rookie auto, an Elway Rubies /30, and a Jerry Rice gold refractor /100.

Plus, Jeremy shares a sneak peek at a mystery project he's working on that could turn into a book — and showcases his personal library of hockey card books at the community’s request.

Highlights:

• PSA 10 vs. 9 deep dive: is $20K worth it?

• Faded Jordan auto stirs debate

• Manufactured vs. game-used patch honesty

• Gretzky, OPC, and hobby history books reviewed

• Community Q&A and collector shoutouts

Whether you’re watching market trends, chasing grails, or geeking out over hobby books, this episode delivers.
