PREVIEW:

PSA Mint 9 sold during the two-day affair for $63,000. That price shouldn’t surprise, as there are no examples of that card that have ever graded higher.

That brings us to one of only four known 1968 Topps Joe Namath cards graded PSA Gem Mint 10. In the past, this was a card that used to sell for a few hundred dollars in mint and near-mint condition. But collectors tussled over this prized rarity, driving Broadway Joe’s final price to $46,800.

Only his 1965 rookie cards and the only PSA Gem Mint 10 Namath from the ’70 set have ever sold for more at auction.

Another standout from this auction was the 1959 Topps Football (First Series) vending box filled with cards tightly bound with brown strips of paper. Heritage had never before offered this extraordinary rarity, which meant there was nothing to compare it to; hence, the $8,000 pre-auction estimate. Significant interest in this auction first-timer drove the bidding into six-figure territory, enough to generate media interest and a final price of $117,000.

Hockey cards, too, scored high on the six-figure list in this event, with a 1979 O-PeeChee Wayne Gretzky rookie card graded PSA Mint 9 realizing $156,000. Always a great one from The Great One. For more information and results from the Winter Sports Card Catalog Auction, visit www.HA.com.
