ATLANTA, June 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- WorthPoint
Corporation has formed a data partnership with Sterling Sports
Auctions of Alexandria, Minn.
Owned and operated by longtime hobbyist and former card shop
owner Lee Behrens, the Sterling
Sports Auctions team has been in the sports card industry since
1980. Sterling was founded to keep the small, novice collector and
the higher-end collector in touch with each other in a safe
buying-and-selling environment. They tailor the buying,
consignment, and selling process to each collector, and specialize
in breaking down graded sets and larger graded lots to help
maximize realized prices for the consignor.
Nearly 50,000 results from Sterling
Sports' auctions are now available in WorthPoint's Price
Guide, including a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle Card No. 311, which
sold for more than $41,000 in March,
a 1915 Ty Cobb Cracker Jack card that realized $10,500, and a Fleer 1986 Michael Jordan rookie
card purchased for $9,000.
"I first learned of WorthPoint while searching online for sports
card pricing," said Behrens. "Adding our results to the site will
deliver better exposure for our company and will help more
collectors discover the items we sell."
"Sports cards and memorabilia continue to be really popular with
WorthPoint subscribers," said Will
Seippel, WorthPoint founder and CEO. "As a lifelong
collector of baseball memorabilia myself, I understand how fun this
category is and how nuanced the sales process is. We can never have
too much information to offer these collectors."
Sterling Sports Auctions is accepting bids for their
June 10-24 auction, and consignments
for their July 22 to August 5
auction. For more information, visit
