“Best of the best” - Tiger Woods cards are expensive hotcakes at auctions
Tiger Woods is a golf legend. He is one of the world's best-known athletes. Given his popularity, it is understandable that his fans would want to purchase his equipment and mementos.
The Golden Age auction is just around the corner, with some unexpected elements beginning their first bid of the year. Unlike all-time collectibles, balls and clubs are not included in the auction; instead, they have never-before-seen Tiger Woods cards.
The Golden Age Auction has unveiled the "best of the best" Tiger Woods cards to be included in the auction. The bidding commenced this week and will conclude on January 28.
According to Golden Age founder Ryan Carey, the cards were issued in 2001 by Upper Deck and were worth over $5,000.
The cards were signed by Tiger Woods and have an auto-silver mark by Upper Deck SP Authentic.
Speaking about the auction, Carey said:
“Sports-card collecting has flourished since the beginning of COVID. Many—if not most—baseball and basketball cards tripled or quadrupled in value, if not more. Golf cards have always severely lagged behind other sports cards. But when prices started skyrocketing in other sports, collectors started to finally realize that golf cards, especially of Tiger Woods, may be a great investment potential.”
Tiger Woods' memorabilia sales are truly impressive, frequently setting price records. Carey anticipates that the cards will be bid between $40,000 and $50,000.
