Dave Oancea has always been about making the biggest splash. Boy, did Oancea cause a tidal wave this time. Two years after getting into investing in sports cards, Oancea – a.k.a. “Vegas Dave” – unloaded his Mike Trout 2009 Bowman Chrome autographed Superfractor. The 1-of-1 card sold through Goldin Auctions for a record-breaking $3.936 million on Aug. 23. That price eclipsed the 2016 sale of a 1909 T-206 Honus Wagner for $3.12 million, also through Goldin Auctions, making the Trout card the highest-selling sports card ever. “I got what I wanted,” said Oancea, who had a reserve of $3.8 million on the card. “If I wasn’t going to get what I wanted, I was going to keep it. I figured if someone has $3 million to spend, they can afford…

A fresh-faced, 19-year-old rookie from Oklahoma grabs a baseball bat. He’s ready for his photo to be taken. With the lumber resting on his shoulder while looking off to his right with a New York Yankees cap on, a photographer from the International News Service (INS) takes a few shots. “It’s totally random,” said Henry Yee, lead photo authenticator for PSA. “There’s nothing special about it when the image was taken…This was just another spring training.” Yee believes a photographer was assigned to the Yankees preseason camp that year. What that photographer captured on March 5, 1951 in Phoenix has turned into one of the most iconic images in baseball card history. The black-and-white, 7-by-9-inch photo was used for the epic 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle rookie card, and obviously colorized…

Michael Jordan memorabilia continues to enjoy a bump in value thanks to the “The Last Dance” documentary, the latest evidence coming from the record price set for Jordan’s rookie card at Heritage Auctions. A 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan card No. 57 graded a Pristine 10 by SGC fetched four times the amount of the previous record for the card, selling for $420,000 in the Summer Platinum Night Sports Collectibles auction Aug. 30. The previous record was $96,000 for a PSA Gem Mint 10 sold at Heritage in May. “The Michael Jordan rookie card came to us ungraded, and we knew it was special from the very first moment we saw its condition,” said Chris Ivy, Heritage’s Director of Sports Auctions. “The SGC Pristine 10 Gold Label grade represents the best…

The 1984 NBA All-Star Game Trophy won by Isiah Thomas of the Detroit Pistons was up for bid at the Summer Platinum Night Sports Collectibles auction until the former NBA star informed Heritage Auctions via Twitter that the trophy had been stolen. The trophy was among several items Thomas had donated to his high school, St. Joseph High School in Westchester, Ill., where he played under legendary coach Gene Pingatore. Thomas loaned the items to honor Pingatore, who died on June 26, 2019 at 82, and the agreement was that Thomas would eventually get the items back. Westchester Police Department investigators and a St. Joseph official told Heritage that in recent years several of Thomas’ items have been stolen from that trophy case. The All-Star trophy, consigned to Heritage by…
