Auction Watch: SCP Summer Premier Closes July 26 With Ohtani Game-Worn Grails and a PSA 10 Fleer Jordan
SCP Auctions closes its Summer Premier sale Sunday night with a photo-matched Ohtani MVP jersey estimated at $175,000, a $250,000 Ohtani bat, a 1986 Fleer Jordan PSA 10, and a Freeman World Series bat. The results will set the tone for The National.
One Auction, Three Hobby Pillars
SCP Auctions' Summer Premier sale closes Sunday, July 26, and the catalog reads like a museum wing: photo-matched Shohei Ohtani game-worn gear, a perfect Michael Jordan rookie, and a World Series hero's bat. With bidding running through the weekend at SCPAuctions.com, here is what to watch.
The Ohtani Section Is the Headliner
The top lot is the Los Angeles Dodgers home jersey Ohtani wore when he hit his 30th home run of the 2025 season, photo-matched, from the year he slugged a career-high 55 homers on the way to a third straight MVP. Estimate: around \$175,000.
Alongside it sits an even bigger estimate: the 2019 Asics Pro Model bat Ohtani used to hit career home run number 40, valued around \$250,000, plus a bat from his 2021 MVP campaign. Ohtani game-used material has quietly become one of the strongest categories in the hobby, and every major result resets the comps for everything else he has touched.
The Card Side: A Perfect Jordan
For card collectors, the marquee lot is a 1986 Fleer #57 Michael Jordan PSA 10. The population of Gem Mint copies is fixed and demand is not, and with the recent \$12.9 million Jordan-Kobe Logoman sale proving the ceiling on basketball's icons keeps rising, every PSA 10 Fleer Jordan auction is a market-wide reference point.
Also in the Catalog
- A Freddie Freeman game-used Marucci bat photo-matched to 17 hits, including a walk-off double from the Dodgers' 2025 World Series championship season.
- Historic jerseys, championship rings, and Type 1 photographs spanning a century of sports history.
- High-end vintage and modern cards beyond the Jordan headliner.
Why This Weekend Matters
This close lands in the quiet week before the National Sports Collectors Convention opens in Rosemont, and dealers watch late-July results closely to set their show pricing. Strong numbers here on Sunday night will echo through the biggest card show of the year starting three days later. If you are planning purchases at The National, the SCP results are your last, best read on where the high-end market actually stands.
