eBay, the marketplace where one sports trading card is sold every second, hosted “Vault Stars,” its first-ever live baseball trading card draft celebrating MLB All-Star weekend, and the recent launch of the eBay vault: a 31-thousand square foot, 24/7 secured facility and digital marketplace for trading card collectors that streamlines the buying and selling process. 

“I’ve been a baseball fan my entire life. My grandma used to get me an 8-box set for Christmas every year when I was a kid, which led to me collecting baseball cards on eBay,” said Miles Teller. “Having Chase – who I’ve been a fan of since he played for the Phillies – guide me through picking my Vault Stars lineup was exciting, and with eBay’s new vault I know my cards will be safe and secure. It’s a gamechanger for me as a trading card collector.”

The event featured actor and baseball fanatic Miles Teller, assisted by World Series Champion and former All-Star second baseman Chase Utley, selecting his ultimate card lineup to send to the eBay vault. His selection included five rare rookie cards showcasing the ease and peace of mind the eBay vault provides trading card collectors and enthusiasts. Totaling $23,813.95, Teller selected and purchased the following baseball cards from eBay for his Vault Stars Collection, all of which now reside in the eBay vault:

• The MVP: 2011 Bowman Chrome Mike Trout RC #175 PSA 10 Gem Mint Rookie

• The Legend: 1952 Topps Willie Mays #261 PSA 2 Rookie

• Icon to Watch: 2001 Topps Chrome Albert Pujols #T247 Rookie PSA 10 GEM MINT

• Proven Performer: 2018 Shohei Ohtani Bowman Chrome Autograph Rookie GEM BGS 9.5

• Personal Pick: 1989 Topps Traded Tiffany Ken Griffey Jr. PSA 10 RC Rookie Card
