Fanatics Collect Auction Results – Weekly Auction #232 Recap
Another Fanatics Collect weekly auction is in the books, and several Arthur’s Cards & Collectibles listings found new homes.
Weekly Auction #232 featured a wide mix of graded baseball, soccer, tennis, basketball, football, rookies, inserts, parallels, numbered cards, legends, and collector-focused slabs. The results showed plenty of activity across the board, but they also highlighted one of the reasons we like weekly auctions: collectors can still find interesting cards at accessible prices.
For transparency: Prices listed in the written recap refer to winning bids / hammer prices before buyer premium, taxes, shipping, or any additional Fanatics Collect checkout charges unless otherwise noted. Where shown, buyer price reflects the Fanatics Collect sale price after buyer premium, before any applicable taxes or shipping which vary by buyer.
Quick Takeaways
Weekly Auction #232 included 94 sold Arthur’s Cards & Collectibles listings with 533 total bids.
The average winning bid was $17.21, while the median winning bid was $11.00, showing that plenty of graded cards remained approachable for collectors.
The strongest bidding activity came from a mix of superstars, parallels, modern rookies, and collector-friendly inserts, including Derek Jeter, Shohei Ohtani, Ketel Marte, Edgar Martinez, Albert Pujols, Bo Jackson, and several soccer standouts.
Top Auction Results
2005 Leaf Limited Gold Spotlight Derek Jeter /25 #31 PSA 7 NRMT — $125 Winning Bid / $150 Buyer Price
This was the top result of the week by winning bid. A low-numbered Derek Jeter card from the mid-2000s will always have collector appeal, and the /25 Gold Spotlight finish helped separate this one from a standard base or insert slab.
2002 Fleer Focus Jersey Number Edgar Martinez 11/11 #103 PSA 7 NRMT — $120 Winning Bid / $144 Buyer Price
This was one of the more interesting results from the auction. The jersey-numbered 11/11 serial number gives the card a strong collector hook, and Edgar Martinez continues to have a dedicated following among Hall of Fame and Mariners collectors.
2025 Topps All-Star Game Greats Shohei Ohtani #ASGG-25 CGC 10 Pristine — $66 Winning Bid / $79.20 Buyer Price
Ohtani continues to draw attention even on lower-cost modern inserts. This CGC 10 Pristine result shows that clean, modern Ohtani slabs can still generate strong activity without needing to be a rookie, autograph, or major numbered parallel.
2021 Topps Chrome ’86 Shohei Ohtani #86BC-9 CGC 10 Gem Mint — $47 Winning Bid / $56.40 Buyer Price
Another Ohtani result landed near the top of the week. Chrome-style inserts with strong player appeal remain easy cards for collectors to understand, especially when paired with a Gem Mint grade.
2025 Topps Shoebox Treasures Logo Laminate Cal Ripken Jr. /35 #76 PSA 10 Gem Mint — $46 Winning Bid / $55.20 Buyer Price
This was a solid result for a numbered modern legend card. The /35 numbering, PSA 10 grade, and Cal Ripken Jr. name gave this one a clean combination of scarcity, grade, and player recognition.
Most Active Bidding
A few cards stood out not just because of the final price, but because of the number of bids they attracted.
| Card | Winning Bid | Bids |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 Topps Chrome Power Players Gold Refractor Ketel Marte 50/50 #PP-4 PSA 10 Gem Mint | $44 | 25 |
| 2005 Leaf Limited Gold Spotlight Derek Jeter /25 #31 PSA 7 NRMT | $125 | 19 |
| 2025 Topps All-Star Game Greats Shohei Ohtani #ASGG-25 CGC 10 Pristine | $66 | 19 |

| 2026 Bo Jackson Battle Arena Promo PSA Magazine Bojax #P-24 CGC 10 Pristine | $27 | 17 |
| 2023 Topps Archives ’79 Topps Comics Albert Pujols #79TC-13 PSA 9 Mint | $36 | 16 |
The Ketel Marte Gold Refractor was the most bid-on card in the group, going several rounds in extended bidding and finishing with 25 bids. That is a good reminder that numbered parallels, final serial numbers, and strong grades can drive interest even when the final price remains collector-friendly.
Collector-Friendly Results
This is where the weekly auction format can get interesting. Not every worthwhile card has to be a headline piece. Several graded cards finished at accessible winning bids, giving collectors a chance to pick up rookies, inserts, parallels, international soccer names, and modern slabs without chasing only the biggest-ticket cards.
| Card | Winning Bid |
|---|---|
| 2024 Topps Chrome UEFA Club Competitions Wonderkids Endrick Rookie #WK-2 CGC 9.5 Mint+ | $11 |
| 2023 Topps Chrome UEFA Aqua Prism Refractor Kobbie Mainoo Rookie #57 CGC 9 Mint | $11 |

| 2024 Bowman Sky Blue Mookie Betts /499 #40 PSA 9 Mint | $16 |
| 2024 Topps Update Black Gold Yoshinobu Yamamoto Rookie #BG-13 PSA 9 Mint | $25 |
These are the kinds of results that make weekly auctions worth watching. Some cards are driven by star power. Others are about player upside, grade, design, scarcity, or simply finding something fun for the collection at a reasonable price.
Market Notes From The Week
The top end of the auction was led by recognizable names and clear collector hooks: Derek Jeter /25, Edgar Martinez 11/11, Shohei Ohtani CGC 10s, a Cal Ripken Jr. /35 PSA 10, and a Ketel Marte Gold Refractor numbered 50/50.
At the same time, a large portion of the auction remained very affordable. Out of 94 sold listings, 68 finished at $15 or less, and 79 finished at $25 or less. That is the kind of spread that can appeal to both focused player collectors and buyers looking for value.
Soccer also showed up well in the lower-dollar range. Names like Endrick, Kobbie Mainoo, Viktor Gyökeres, Kenan Yildiz, Lionel Messi, Jude Bellingham, Ronaldinho, and Kevin De Bruyne all had completed results, giving collectors a mix of prospects, stars, and legends across UEFA and MLS products.
The broader takeaway: weekly auctions are not only about chasing the highest-dollar cards. They can also be a useful place to find lower-end graded cards, modern inserts, rookies, numbered parallels, and collection pieces that might get overlooked in fixed-price listings.
