April is a big month in sports. Baseball gets underway. Hockey and Basketball start to heat up as the playoffs approach. And if you squint hard enough, you can almost see the NFL pre-season in the distance.
As spring really starts to warm up, so does the auction action across the major auction houses. Let’s take a swing around the horn and see what is available for our bidding enjoyment this month.
With 3,600 items, this one has a bit of everything, but skews towards baseball and modern.

There’s lots to like here, with such a large number of lots. There’s a 2011 Topps Update Trout in BGS 10. A /5 2022 Bowman Chrome Sapphire Red Julio Rodriguez in PSA 10. Not one, but two BGS 10 Ohtani rookie cards. There are high end items of Damian Lillard, Tiger Woods, LeBron James, and Kevin Garnett, just to name a few.
There’s even close to 300 comic books in the auction, including an Amazing Spider Man #1. Or perhaps you enjoy toys or tickets, they have that too.
Note that Goldin also has weekly auctions ending on April 20th and April 27th.
This auction is heavy on baseball and heavy on vintage. There’s a little bit of everything, though, including a lot of lower-priced lots, so it’s worth checking out.

There’s a lot of iconic cards in this auction. 1979 O-Pee-Chee Wayne Gretzky PSA 9 RC? It’s here. A PSA 9 1986 Fleer Michael Jordan RC? Yes! Not one, but two graded 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle cards? A 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth? They have it.
There’s lots of more fun here, too. How cool would it be to rip a 1976 Topps Baseball Cello Box? There are tickets from Hank Aaron and Michael Jordan’s first games. How great would it have been to attend one of those?
