The 22nd annual MLB All-Star Live Auction presented by Hunt Auctions will take place on Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET within Capital One All-Star Village at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. It will be a particularly special event this year as the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of the United States and All-Star festivities are held in Philadelphia, the city in which the Declaration of Independence was signed.
The auction will feature hundreds of historic artifacts celebrating the greatest players and teams in MLB history. And this year, given the nation’s semiquincentennial, Hunt Auctions will showcase The Commander in Chief Master Set of Presidential Autographed Baseballs -- a complete run of baseballs signed by every president from Theodore Roosevelt to Donald Trump, spanning the period from 1901-2026.
Also featured in this year’s live auction is the jersey worn by Phillies left-hander Tug McGraw during the clinching game of the 1980 World Series. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the jersey will benefit the Tug McGraw Foundation.

The auction will also include items from the private collection of former Yankees All-Star shortstop and 1978 World Series MVP Bucky Dent, Negro League historian and author Phil Dixon and Babe Ruth confidant and Indy Car icon Jim Chapman.
Another unique item in the auction is a 1975 North Carolina Dixie Youth Baseball Tournament program signed by a 12-year-old Michael Jordan, who helped his team win the state championship before going on to become one of the greatest basketball players of all time.
