“eBay has always been the original home for trading cards and collectibles,” said Dawn Block, VP Collectibles, Electronics and Home at eBay. “As the collector community grows, we offer a new live platform that combines an engaging environment with great convenience, enabling our community to come together for common interests and merchandise.”
Block added that currently in beta, eBay Live will provide a more streamlined, entertaining and sophisticated way for our community to connect, buy and sell.
During the live, Jess Mineo of Bleecker Trading will showcase iconic collections, including the Topps Finest Michael Jordan M1 Red Bordered Refractor PSA 9 MINT 1995 and Kobe Bryant Skybox That's Jam PSA 10 from 1998.
