The September Premier Auction at PWCC Marketplace closed last Thursday, and let me tell you - it was a fun night for NFL and NBA cards! Multiple records and interesting price points were set in the auction. Here's a look at a few of the most exciting sales.

Kirk Cousins’ 2012 Orange Pylon rookie parallel from Panini’s inaugural football Prizms release sold for $3,780 to become the QB’s highest-selling trading card to date.
This orange holofoil rookie issue features Cousins during his first year in the NFL after he was selected by Washington in the fourth round of the draft. Beckett graded this one-of-one card a Gem Mint 9.5.
