SCP Auctions has once again curated a remarkable Spring Premier catalog that promises to captivate sports collectors worldwide. Among the treasures up for grabs is the one and only known George Mikan Minneapolis Lakers warm-up suit, a piece of basketball history that’s sure to turn heads. This iconic suit, bearing the signature of the legendary Mikan himself, consists of both a jacket and pants and comes with a Letter of Authenticity from Sports Investors Authentication. Experts estimate that this rare ensemble could command a price tag exceeding a staggering $400,000.
For aficionados of the sporting past, SCP’s auction boasts an impressive selection of vintage baseball cards, including gems like a PSA 7 Mickey Mantle 1951 Bowman rookie card, not one, but two 1952 Topps Mantles, a 1963 Topps Mantle graded SGC 9, and a scarce 1933 Goudey #92 Lou Gehrig graded SGC 9, with the Gehrig card projected to surpass $150,000. The allure of game-worn memorabilia is further underlined by the inclusion of a Pete Rose master card set, now ranked second following the sale of the top set last autumn.
Fans of contemporary stars will be delighted by the array of Shohei Ohtani cards and memorabilia on offer. Highlights include Ohtani’s 2023 Jackie Robinson Day jersey, expected to draw bids reaching six figures, as well as the ball from his 200th career home run. The auction also features coveted items such as two pairs of Michael Jordan’s game-worn shoes, a Roberto Clemente cap, a photo-matched Ronald Acuna Jr. jersey, and a signed Tua Tagovailoa jersey from 2023.
