Pokémon Ran Away With Weekly Auction #241 (A $360K Lugia Led the Way) — But Ohtani and a Wemby Rookie Auto Topped the Sports Side
Fanatics Collect's Weekly Auction #241 closed Sunday night, Aug 30. Pokémon and TCG absolutely ran away with this one — a 2000 Pokémon Neo Genesis 1st Edition Holo Lugia PSA 10 alone sold for $360,000, and six more Pokémon cards cleared $100,000+. We don't cover Pokémon or other TCG here, so we filtered to sports only (basketball, football, baseball, soccer, hockey, combat sports, racing, golf, and tennis) and sorted by final price, then cross-checked the standout names against Card Ladder's Player Index data. Here's what real sports collectors bought.
The sports side topped out at $78,000
2018 Topps Chrome Gold Refractor Shohei Ohtani Rookie Autograph, /50, #RA-SO, PSA 9 MINT
Ohtani's Card Ladder Index sits at $40,233, up 27.35% over 3 months across 92 tracked cards. Card Ladder's own comps page lists this exact card and grade with a last-sold price of $78,000 — a clean, independent match on the week's top sports sale.
2023 Topps Mercury Insert Black Refractor Victor Wembanyama Rookie Autograph, /10, #VW9, PSA 9 MINT
Wembanyama's Card Ladder Index sits at just $1,444, up 0.87% over 3 months across 39 tracked cards — a market still mostly built on base Prizm rookies selling for under $400. A true Pop 1 rookie autograph found a buyer at nearly 150x that index value.
1986 Fleer Basketball Michael Jordan Rookie #57, PSA 9 MINT
Jordan's Card Ladder Index sits at $53,236, up 41.14% over 3 months across 1,842 tracked cards — still the hottest name in the hobby. Card Ladder's own comps list a BGS 9.5 copy of this same card selling for $72,000; this PSA 9 came in below that, as expected for the lower grade.
1995 Finest Mystery Borderless Gold Refractor Michael Jordan #M1, BGS 10 PRISTINE
A true Gem Mint Pristine grade on a notoriously hard-to-find refractor insert — Jordan's second card over $45K this week alone.
2003 NetPro Elite Glossy Roger Federer Rookie, #G3, PSA 10 GEM MINT
Federer's Card Ladder Index sits at $23,660, up 76.27% over 3 months — the fastest-growing index of any name we tracked this week, across a thin market of just 19 cards.
Rookies, legends, and a Black Finite rematch
1998 Skybox Premium Star Rubies Vince Carter Rookie, /25, #234, PSA 9 MINT
A Pop 1 rookie parallel numbered to just 25 copies — rare enough that even a PSA 9, not a perfect 10, commands this kind of price.
1996 Flair Showcase Legacy Collection Row 0 Kobe Bryant Rookie, /150, #31, BGS 8.5
Kobe's Card Ladder Index sits at $52,542, up 53.53% over 3 months across 1,056 tracked cards — one of the strongest growth rates of any legacy name we track.
2013 Bowman Chrome Draft Black Refractor Aaron Judge Prospect Autograph, /35, #BCA-AJ, BGS 9.5 GEM MINT
Judge's Card Ladder Index sits at $177,120, down 5.64% over 3 months across 197 tracked cards. Card Ladder's own comps page lists this exact card and grade with a last-sold price of $40,800 — another clean, independent match.
2018 National Treasures Josh Allen Rookie Patch Autograph, /99, #163, BGS 9 Auto 10
Allen's Card Ladder Index sits at $23,625, down 11.16% over 3 months across 141 tracked cards. Card Ladder's own comps page lists this exact RPA with a last-sold price of $36,000 — a third clean match this week.
2024 Panini Prizm Deca Black Shimmer FOTL Caleb Williams Rookie, 1/1, #54, PSA 10 GEM MINT
A different Panini Prizm parallel than the Black Finite 1/1s that sold for $222,000 and $204,000 in Fanatics Collect's Premier Auction three days ago (see last week's recap) — but the same story. Williams' Card Ladder Index sits at just $2,053, up 41.43% over 3 months, built on base and Silver Prizm copies selling for a few hundred dollars. True 1/1 parallels of his rookie season keep finding serious buyers no matter which parallel it is.
