Step right up, baseball enthusiasts and collectors! Huggins & Scott is at it again, presenting an auction of epic proportions that will have you drooling over rare finds and coveted gems. This auction is not for the faint of heart; it’s for those who appreciate the history and allure of baseball cards and memorabilia.
One of the highlights of this auction is none other than the illustrious T206 Sherry “Magie” error card. This card is a member of the exclusive ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series, a distinguished group that includes legends like Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l. The Magie card’s claim to fame lies in a simple misspelling of outfielder Sherry Magee’s name, making it a prized possession for any serious collector.
But wait, there’s more! The auction also unveils a set of three 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards, a true gem in the world of baseball card collecting. These cards are part of a rare schedule-card set that predates the iconic 1914 BN set featuring none other than Babe Ruth’s rookie card. Imagine owning a piece of history that transcends generations and tells the story of baseball’s past.
And if pre-war cards are your cup of tea, you’re in for a treat. Feast your eyes on coveted pieces like a 1934 World Wide Gum Babe Ruth (PSA 3) and Lou Gehrig (SGC 3), an 1887 N28 Allen & Ginter Mike “King” Kelly (SGC 6), an 1888 N28 Allen & Ginter John Montgomery Ward (PSA 6), and a 1917 E135 Collins-McCarthy Honus Wagner (PSA 4). These cards are not just pieces of cardboard; they are relics of a bygone era, encapsulating the essence of baseball’s golden age.
But the auction doesn’t stop there. Post-war collectors will find a treasure trove of cards to swoon over, including a 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle rookie card (PSA 3), a 1948-49 Leaf Jackie Robinson rookie (PSA 2), Hank Aaron’s 1954 Topps rookie (PSA 6) and 1955 Topps (PSA 8), a 1955 Topps Sandy Koufax (PSA 7), and a 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews rookie high number (PSA 4). Additionally, a complete 1961 Topps set featuring 524 autographed cards out of the 572 total, along with signed memorabilia from legends like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente, will be up for grabs.
The bidding has already commenced, with eager collectors vying for these prized possessions. The auction will continue until Thursday, April 4, with initial bids closing at 9 PM ET. This is your moment to dive into the world of baseball history, to own a piece of the past that reverberates with nostalgia and reverence.
