Top Auction Results
Reggie Jackson Signed Baseball — JSA Authenticated
Hammer price: $90
Buyer price: $108
Bids: 20
Reggie Jackson delivered the top result of Weekly Auction #248, with his JSA-authenticated signed baseball reaching a $108 buyer price on 20 bids.
The combination of a Hall of Fame name, authenticated autograph, and traditional baseball memorabilia gave this one broad appeal beyond the graded-card side of the auction.
It also finished just $2.40 ahead of the next lot, making the top of this week’s auction unusually close.
Iron Man #149 — CGC Signature Series 8.0
Hammer price: $88
Buyer price: $105.60
Bids: 24
Iron Man #149 from 1981, graded CGC Signature Series 8.0, finished just behind Jackson at $105.60.
The bigger story may have been the bidding activity: the comic attracted 24 bids, the most of any listing in Auction #248.
That made it another strong example of non-sports collectibles competing directly with traditional sports memorabilia in the same weekly auction.
2025 Panini Prizm Emeka Egbuka Rookie #351 CGC 10 Pristine
Hammer price: $49
Buyer price: $58.80
Bids: 5
Emeka Egbuka’s 2025 Panini Prizm Rookie CGC 10 Pristine finished third overall at $58.80.
Egbuka has remained involved in Tampa Bay’s offense through the first six games of the 2026 season, including a seven-catch, 48-yard, one-touchdown performance against Pittsburgh on October 18.
This auction also included a 2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Rookie CGC 9.5, which sold for $10.80, giving us a useful same-player comparison between product and grade.

A Small Auction, but a Wide Mix
Auction #248 was much smaller than the previous few weeks, but it still gave collectors several very different kinds of pieces to chase.
The top two results came from memorabilia and comics, followed by a modern football rookie, then baseball rookies ranging from Madison Bumgarner to James Wood and Justin Crawford.
James Wood’s PSA 9 finished at $19.20 after a 2026 season in which he hit .265 with 30 home runs, 77 RBI, 21 stolen bases, and an .891 OPS.
That kind of mix is part of what makes smaller auctions worth watching. With fewer listings competing for attention, a signed baseball, Bronze Age comic, current rookie, and established veteran card can all end up side by side.
Arthur’s Market Notes & Insights
Emeka Egbuka Gave Us a Useful Same-Player Comparison
Two Egbuka rookies sold in the same auction:
- 2025 Panini Prizm Rookie CGC 10 Pristine — $58.80
- 2025 Panini Prizm Draft Picks Rookie CGC 9.5 — $10.80
That is a large gap for the same player, but there are two obvious differences working together: product and grade.
The standard Prizm rookie carries a different hobby profile than Draft Picks, while the Pristine designation adds another layer on top of it.
Rather than treating the $58.80 result as simply a “Pristine premium,” this is a good example of how multiple card-specific factors can stack together.
Iron Man Continued the Non-Sports Trend
Iron Man #149 did not just finish second overall — it also drew the most bids in the entire auction.
That follows a pattern we have seen in recent weeks with Marvel and other non-sports material: the right character, format, and presentation can generate just as much competition as traditional sports cards.
In this case, a CGC Signature Series comic from 1981 brought a very different collecting lane into the same auction and still finished within a few dollars of the top result.
Final Takeaways
Weekly Auction #248 was small, but the results still gave us a few interesting stories.
Reggie Jackson memorabilia and a signed Iron Man comic both cleared $100, Emeka Egbuka showed how much product and grade can separate two rookies of the same player, and James Wood, Madison Bumgarner, Justin Crawford, and Yoshinobu Yamamoto rounded out a varied baseball group.
Congratulations to the winners and thank you all for tuning in!
