NEW YORK – Sports legends of the past and present are recognized in an all-star collection of trading cards and memorabilia that will sell in a Jasper52 online auction Saturday, June 10. Absentee and Internet live bidding is available through LiveAuctioneers.

Superstars of pro basketball, football, hockey and baseball are all represented in this 120-lot auction, which has estimates less than the cost of a bleacher seat ticket at Wrigley Field.

One of the sharpest cards in the catalog is a John Tavares 2006 Phenoms card by In The Game (above), which pictures the New York Islanders captain when he played for the Oshawa Generals at the major junior level. Incorporated in the design is a piece of a John Tavares/Oshawa Generals game-worn jersey. Canadian John Tavares, born Sept. 20, 1990, was selected first overall by the Islanders in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. This unusual card has a $50-$75 estimate.

With the NBA season wrapping up, the auction marks the opportune time to reflect on the remarkable career of LeBron James. It doesn’t seem possible it’s been 14 years since “King James” was the first overall pick by the Cavaliers in the 2003 NBA draft. Offered in the Jasper52 auction is a 2003-04 Upper Deck Victory LeBron James Rookie Orientation Cleveland Cavaliers Card #101 (below), which has an estimate of only $5-$12.

Staying on the hard court, bidders will find a 1990 Fleer of Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls, which also has a $5-$12 estimate. Jordan went on to lead the Chicago Bulls to six NBA championships and was named the NBA’s Most Valuable Player five times. He is considered by many to be the greatest basketball player of all time.

Baseball is not forgotten in the Jasper52 auction.

It’s all recounted in words and pictures in the Sports Illustrated World Series Commemorative Boston Red Sox World Champions 2004 magazine, which has a $10-$15 estimate.
