JSP Auctions Offers Yankees Collectors Rare PC Highlights

JSP Auctions Puts Yankees Collection on the Block

JSP Auctions is giving Yankees collectors a look at a deep personal collection from Michael Raymond, known in collecting circles as New York Mike. The sale includes a wide range of Yankees memorabilia, autographs, and cards drawn from a longtime personal collection, with more than 100 items available as the auction moves toward its November 1 closing date.

The auction is in its second of three sessions and brings together items acquired through Pinstripe Pride autograph signing events, along with Topps and Bowman cards collected over the years. The mix gives collectors a chance to browse everything from modern Aaron Judge autographs to vintage Yankees pieces tied to some of the franchise’s most recognizable names.

Aaron Judge Highlights Lead the Auction

Aaron Judge is one of the biggest names in the sale, and several of his items stand out immediately. Among them is a 2019 Topps Five Star Auto card numbered to 10 with the inscription “All Rise.” The card reflects the nickname-inspired inscription Judge has used on select autographs, and it has already shown strong market interest in previous public sales.

The auction also includes a signed baseball from the 2017 Home Run Derby, the event where Judge delivered one of the most memorable power displays of his rookie season. That kind of crossover between a major on-field moment and a signed collectible makes the item especially appealing for Judge collectors and Yankees fans alike.

For card collectors, the Judge section goes beyond a single autograph. The auction features a 2017 Bowman Best Red Refractor numbered to 5, graded PSA 9, along with a 2017 Topps Now Home Run Derby Champion autograph numbered to 99, graded BGS 9. Also included are additional Judge Throwback Thursday cards and a 2017 Five Star Silver Signatures autograph numbered to 50.

Judge Cards and Memorabilia Offer Multiple Entry Points

The Judge items in the sale cover several collecting lanes. Some buyers may be focused on signed memorabilia, while others may be chasing low-numbered cards or graded examples from his early run of key releases. The variety makes the auction more than a one-item showcase, especially for collectors who want to compare different formats from the same player.

That spread also reflects the broader appeal of Judge collecting. A signed baseball, a premium autograph card, and a graded refractor each serve a different type of collector, but all carry the same central draw: one of the most important modern Yankees stars in the hobby.

Derek Jeter Autographs Add Another Major Yankees Name

Derek Jeter is another major centerpiece of the auction. The available Jeter material includes a signed 1998 magazine cover authenticated by JSA, six different autographed cards, and an autographed bat. Among the card highlights is a 2018 Topps Finest Red Refractor Finest Hours autograph graded PSA 10.

For Yankees collectors, Jeter remains one of the most consistently chased names in the hobby. The range of items in this sale gives buyers several ways to pursue his autograph, whether they prefer a display piece, a graded card, or a signed bat for a larger memorabilia collection.

Topps Dynasty Brings Premium Autographs Into the Mix

The auction also includes multiple 2022 Topps Dynasty autographs, a product line that sits near the top of the modern baseball card market. Featured players include Wade Boggs, Anthony Rizzo, CC Sabathia, Alex Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera, and Aaron Judge.

Topps Dynasty is known for its premium autograph and patch format, and the presence of numbered cards from the set adds another layer of appeal for collectors. With examples numbered to 10 and 5 in the auction, the Dynasty portion gives the sale a strong high-end component alongside the more traditional Yankees memorabilia.

Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, and Other Yankees Names

Beyond Judge and Jeter, the auction includes additional Yankees stars and familiar names from different eras. Mariano Rivera appears in the Topps Dynasty group, adding one of the most iconic Yankees signatures to the sale. Alex Rodriguez is also represented in the same premium section.

These names help broaden the auction’s appeal beyond a single player chase. Collectors who focus on Yankees history can find material tied to multiple eras, while those building themed displays can mix modern stars with retired legends.

Vintage Yankees Pieces Round Out the Collection

While much of the attention will land on Judge and Jeter, the auction also includes vintage Yankees material that helps anchor the collection historically. The source notes a healthy balance of items ranging from 1940s cards to modern autographs and slabbed refractors, including a Bowman rookie card of Yogi Berra.

That vintage presence matters for collectors who want more than recent stars. It gives the auction a wider historical footprint and makes the sale relevant to both modern player collectors and those focused on classic Yankees names.

Non-Card Autographs and Signed Memorabilia

The non-card portion of the auction includes several notable signed items beyond the Judge baseball and Jeter pieces. Among the highlights are an 8x10 Mickey Mantle autographed photo, a Roger Maris 4x7 framed signed photo, other cut autographs, signed baseballs, signed bats, and an American Sports Collectibles display signed by Billy Martin.

One of the more interesting pieces is a PSA-verified cut autograph of Mel Allen. Allen began broadcasting MLB games in 1938, worked as CBS’s color commentator for the World Series, and later became the Yankees’ radio broadcaster in June 1939, a role he held through the end of the 1964 season. He became known for his signature call, “How a-bout that!”

That mix of player signatures and broadcaster material helps the auction reach beyond the usual card-only audience. Yankees collectors who build display cases or pursue historical memorabilia will find several items that fit neatly into those collections.

Why This Auction Stands Out for Yankees Collectors

The appeal of this sale is not limited to one player or one era. Instead, it brings together a broad Yankees checklist from a single collector’s holdings, with items that range from premium modern autographs to vintage pieces and signed memorabilia. The result is an auction that touches multiple corners of Yankees collecting without losing its team-specific focus.

For collectors, that means a chance to pursue a Judge autograph, a Jeter card, a Mantle photo, or a Rivera Dynasty piece in the same auction window. The variety also makes the sale useful for collectors who are still deciding what direction to take their Yankees collection next.

With the auction scheduled to end November 1, there is still time to review the available lots and compare the different player, card, and memorabilia options. For Yankees fans, JSP Auctions has assembled a collection with enough depth to draw interest from both casual bidders and longtime team collectors.
