Miles Teller Just Put $25,000 Worth of Trading Cards Into the eBay Vault

Miles Teller is securing his baseball card collection with help from the eBay vault!

The 35-year-old Top Gun: Maverick actor celebrated the launch of the new eBay vault with help from World Series champion Chase Utley on Friday (July 15) in Los Angeles.

Miles was given a 15 minute deadline to choose five baseball cards within a budget of $25,000 to be stored in eBay’s vault, a 31,000 square foot secured facility and digital marketplace for trading card collectors.

“For any baseball fan who collects cards, or any card collector, the vault is a big move forward in the collectible industry,” Director of Trading Cards at eBay Bob Means explained to KTLA. “What this is going to allow people to do is store their high-value cards in a secure location with all types of security and insurance and climate control that you need to do this, and ultimately allow you to manage your collection, however you want.”

Miles said, “There’s some guitars, some instruments that I have that are from a very specific time and era. Baseball cards, you know it’s the same thing, man. I love that you can look at a card and it can take you back to where you were when you got it. They’re really timepieces, they put a stamp on what was going on then.”

KTLA reports that Miles chose a 2011 Bowman chrome Mike Trout, a 1952 Topps Willie Mays, a 2001 Topps chrome Albert Pujols, a 2018 Bowman Shohei Ohtani and a 1989 Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card.
