A Derek Jeter rookie card has sold for $99,100, the highest price ever paid for a modern-day baseball card. Brent Huigens, CEO of PWCC, which conducted the eBay auction, confirmed to ESPN on Friday that winning bidder Adrian Proietti had paid the company for the card. "In 2008, I was offered a PSA 10 for $25,000," Proietti said. "I passed on it. I think the $99,100 is still a very good deal." Proietti said the purchase rounds out his obsession for the set, a 1993 Upper Deck SP, that began 25 years ago. Back then, Proietti said he was looking for the Don Mattingly card, but when he got back into the game 10 years ago, he started buying boxes of the set to try to get the Derek Jeter rookie card out of the packs. He got more than 20 Jeters, but could never get the one that would grade out as a perfect 10 from the premiere hobby card grader, PSA/DNA. The fact that it's a foil card makes it especially challenging. According to PSA/DNA's population report on the card, they have graded 8,308 of those cards with an 8 out of 10, 560 as a 9 out of 10 and only 22 as a 10 out of 10. "People have a much harder time understanding the nuance in the grading of modern-day cards," Huigens said. "There isn't the same difference from an 8 to a 9 to a 10 in modern cards as there is with vintage." Huigens said he believes collectors will soon start to realize the premiums being paid for the best grade of modern-day cards as they have with the old stuff. A modern-day card is anything from 1986 or later. Three modern-day cards have been sold publicly for more. A LeBron James rookie card sold for $312,000 in 2016 and two Tom Brady rookie cards sold for $250,000 and more than $100,000 this year. Proietti paid nearly double the previous record for the card, which was $54,576, set just a week before Proeitti agreed to buy his. He said he paid a premium since the auction was conducted by PWCC, which will sell more baseball cards than anyone on eBay in 2018. Proietti said he initially plans on enjoying the card, but could see himself putting it into a safety deposit box at some point. 2010 Topps Heritage - [Base] #411 Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera [BAS Certified&nb…$3,111.10 2020 Topps Transcendent Captain's Collection - Autographed Patch #ACP-19 Derek Jeter [Uncirculated] #/1$5,531.10 1993 Classic Best Minor League - [Base] #91 Derek Jeter [PSA Authentic PSA/DNA Cert]$1,405.83 1993 Topps - [Base] - Gold #98 Derek Jeter [JSA Certified Encased by BGS]$1,571.10 1992-93 Topps Stadium Club Jack Murphy Stadium - Box Set [Base] #117 Derek Jeter [JSA Certified Encased by BGS]$1,571.10 2006 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Update - Sweet Spot Signatures Veteran - Bat Barrel Blue Ink #SS-DJ Derek Jeter [PSA 7 NM] #/5$2,627.10 1997 Topps Gallery - Peter Max #PM1 Derek Jeter [JSA Certified Encased by BGS]$993.60 2007 UD Masterpieces - Box Topper 5x7 Painting - Autographed [Autographed] #MP-3 Derek Jeter [BAS Certified BGS Encased]$916.60 2020 Topps Transcendent Captain's Collection - Autographed Final Dual Relic #AFSD-4 Derek Jeter [Uncirculated] #/2$1,956.10 2007 Upper Deck Goudey - Goudey Graphs #GG-DJ Derek Jeter [BGS 9.5 GEM MINT]$1,367.60 2017 Topps Archives Postseason Signature Edition Buybacks - [Base] #96B-112 Derek Jeter (1996 Bowman) [Buy Back] #/1$1,087.10 2020 Topps Transcendent Captain's Collection - World Series Champion Autographs #WSCA-1999 Derek Jeter [Uncirculated] #/8$927.96 2018 Topps Tribute - Iconic Perspectives Autographs #IP-DJ Derek Jeter #/10$1,130.00 2004 Upper Deck Ultimate Collection - Ultimate Signatures Duals #DS-RJ Cal Ripken Jr., Derek Jeter #/25$815.76 2020 Topps Transcendent Captain's Collection - Captain's Career Autographs #DJCA-11 Derek Jeter [Uncirculated] #/2$911.10 2020 Topps Transcendent Captain's Collection - Captain's Career Autographs #DJCA-28 Derek Jeter [Uncirculated] #/3$746.10 1996 Donruss - [Base] #491 Derek Jeter [BAS Certified BGS Encased]$689.99 2012 SP Signature Edition - Superstars Triple Signatures #SU3-AL-SS Derek Jeter, Jed Lowrie, Alexei Ramirez #/10$673.50 1993 Classic Best Gold Minor League - [Base] #115 Derek Jeter [BAS Certified BGS Encased]2 from $338.65 1993 Score Select - [Base] #360 Derek Jeter [BAS Certified BGS Encased]$484.05 2004 SP Authentic - SP Buy Backs #77.2 Derek Jeter (2003 UD Patch Collection) #/25$581.10 1995 Upper Deck Minor League Top Prospect - [Base] #1 Derek Jeter [BAS Certified BGS Encased]$579.99 1994 Upper Deck Minor League Baseball - [Base] #185 Derek Jeter [BAS Certified BGS Encased]$421.15 1900-Present Authenticated Autographs - Cut Signatures/Notecards/Photographs #_DEJE Derek Jeter [BAS Certified BGS Encased]2 from $362.22 2006 Upper Deck Sweet Spot Update - Sweet Spot Signatures Veteran - Red Stitching Blue Ink #SS-DJ Derek Jeter #/75$421.01 2020 Topps Now - Derek Jeter Career Retrospective - Autographs #DJ-2A Derek Jeter [PSA 9 MINT] #/99$526.10 2010 Upper Deck World of Sports - Sports Nation Dual Autograph #SND-RJ Cal Ripken Jr., Derek Jeter [PSA 8.5 NM‑MT+] #/25$501.35 1992 Classic Draft Picks - [Base] #6 Derek Jeter [BAS Certified BGS Encased]$356.80 1995 Action Packed Minor League - [Base] #1D.3 Derek Jeter (Autograph; Diamond)$340.13 1992 Classic Four Sport Draft Pick Collection - [Base] #231 Derek Jeter [PSA Authentic PSA/DNA Cert]$355.62 2003 Fleer Hardball - Signatures #_DEJE Derek Jeter [PSA Encased]$368.60 1994 Action Packed Minors - [Base] #43 Derek Jeter [BAS Certified BGS Encased]$256.98 1997 Topps - [Base] #13 Derek Jeter [BAS Certified BAS Encased]$174.42 2019 Topps Tier One - Clear One Autographs #C1A-DJ Derek Jeter [BGS 8.5 NM‑MT+] #/51d left (11) $168.50 Which Derek Jeter cards are worth money?The 8 Most Important Derek Jeter Rookie Cards. 1993 SP Derek Jeter Foil (#279) ... . 1993 Stadium Club Derek Jeter Murphy (#117) ... . 1993 Bowman Derek Jeter (#511) ... . 1993 Pinnacle Derek Jeter (#457) ... . 1993 Score Derek Jeter Draft Pick (#489) ... . 1993 Select Derek Jeter (#360) ... . 1993 Topps Derek Jeter (#98) ... . 1993 Upper Deck Derek Jeter (#449).
