Dive into the exciting world of baseball memorabilia with Huggins & Scott’s upcoming auction, featuring a spectacular lineup of legendary cards and treasures that will make any baseball enthusiast’s heart skip a beat.
One of the crown jewels of this auction is the T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, a prized possession among collectors due to its printing mistake misspelling the name of outfielder Sherry Magee. This error led to the rapid correction of the card, resulting in its extreme rarity and high demand among passionate baseball card aficionados. Standing among the elite ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series, alongside iconic names like Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l, the Magie card is a true collector’s dream.
Adding to the excitement are three recently unearthed 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards, a significant find that adds a new chapter to the history of baseball card collecting. These cards are a part of a scarce set of schedule-cards, predating the more well-known 1914 BN set that famously features Babe Ruth’s rookie card, making them a unique and sought-after discovery for any serious collector.
The auction showcases an impressive array of pre-war gems, including coveted cards 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 historical pieces offer a glimpse into the rich tapestry of baseball’s past.
For collectors of post-war baseball cards, the auction presents an enticing selection, featuring iconic cards such as 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). Furthermore, a complete 1961 Topps set with 524 autographed cards out of 572, as well as signed memorabilia from legendary figures like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente, will be up for bidding.
The auction is already underway, offering collectors a chance to own a piece of baseball history until Thursday, April 4. The bidding process closes at 9 PM ET on that day, providing a unique opportunity for enthusiasts to acquire rare and valuable memorabilia that resonate with the essence of America’s favorite pastime. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this legendary auction and write your own chapter in the history of baseball collecting.
