A premier auction event by PWCC Marketplace is drawing attention with its offering of high-grade cards from sports legends like Connor McDavid, Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, and Mickey Mantle, promising to be a collector's dream.

The PWCC Marketplace Premier auction is currently the center of the sports card collecting world, featuring an array of high-grade cards from some of the most iconic athletes across multiple sports. Leading the charge is Connor McDavid’s 2015-16 Upper Deck The Cup Rookie Patch Autograph, numbered to 99 and graded BGS 9.5, which has seen competitive bidding pushing it into six-figure territory.

Not to be outdone, a mint condition Wayne Gretzky rookie card, one of only 93 to receive a PSA 9 grade, is expected to fetch upwards of $100,000. From the basketball court, a 1997 Metal Universe Precious Metal Gems Red Michael Jordan card, despite its 'Authentic/Altered' status, stands out as one of the auction's marquee items due to its rarity and the legendary status of Jordan.

The auction's appeal extends beyond hockey and basketball into the realm of baseball, with vintage cards of Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle generating significant interest. Highlights include a 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #181 rated PSA 6, a 1948 Leaf Ruth graded SGC 8, and two 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle cards, each capturing a moment from the careers of these baseball titans.

Football fans have the opportunity to own pieces of Patrick Mahomes' legacy, with a 2017 Panini National Treasures Red NFL Shield 1/1 RPA graded BGS 9 and a Panini Prizm Gold rookie auto rated BGS 9.5 among the items up for auction.

Other notable lots feature additional Michael Jordan cards, including a 1984-85 Star Company XRC (BGS 8.5), a 1986-87 Fleer rookie (BGS 9.5), and a 1997 Finest Embossed Refractor #/74 (PSA 10), alongside a 2003-04 Topps Chrome Xfractor LeBron James rookie #/220 (BGS 9.5), adding depth to an already impressive lineup.

With bidding set to close on February 22, this auction presents a golden opportunity for collectors to add significant pieces to their collections, showcasing the best of sports history through the lens of trading cards.
