Wheatland Auctions Launches 2023 with an Exciting Range of Sports Memorabilia
Wheatland Auctions, a prominent Pennsylvania-based auction house, has started the new year with a bang by presenting an exciting and diverse range of sports collectibles. Their latest auction, featuring nearly 500 lots, showcases a remarkable assemblage of both vintage and modern cards, memorabilia, and sealed high-end football products from Panini.
The auction’s main spotlight shines on the twelve sealed cases of Panini’s high-end football products, which have caught the attention of modern sports card enthusiasts. Among these cases are coveted Panini editions such as the 2018 Prizm Hobby, 2020 Prizm Jumbo, 2021 Flawless, as well as multiple years of National Treasures, Contenders Optic, Immaculate, Select, and Panini One. These sealed cases represent some of the most sought-after items in the modern football card collecting world.
Vintage card collectors will be thrilled to find an impressive array of cards, including all four lower to mid-grade copies of the Babe Ruth cards from the iconic 1933 Goudey set. Additionally, one of the highest SGC graded 1922 E121 American Caramel Ruth cards is also up for auction. And for fans of Lou Gehrig, there are 1933 and 1934 cards available, adding to the auction’s appeal.
For basketball enthusiasts, there is no shortage of memorabilia featuring the legendary Michael Jordan. The auction includes five rookie cards and two rookie stickers of the basketball superstar. These items hold significant value due to Jordan’s enduring legacy in the sport.
Adding to the allure, the auction also offers collectors an SGC 10 1986-87 Fleer Isiah Thomas rookie card, 1926 W512 cards of Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb, and partial sets of 1933 and 1934 Goudey, 1934-36 Batter Up, and 1934-36 Diamond Stars. Single Diamond Stars cards featuring legends like Mel Ott, Jimmie Foxx, Lefty Grove, and Hank Greenberg further showcase the depth and variety of the collection.
Not limited to cards, the auction’s memorabilia section is equally impressive. It features single signed baseballs from historic figures such as Pie Traynor, Frankie Frisch, Willie Mays, and Thurman Munson (on a Little League ball). Another standout item is a rare 1917 World Series Game 2 ticket, offering collectors a tangible piece of baseball history.
Wheatland Auctions has gained a reputation for its comprehensive offerings of complete and partial vintage sets and graded cards from the post-War era. This latest event continues that tradition, providing collectors with an exciting opportunity to acquire pieces from a crucial period in sports history.
Sports enthusiasts and collectors alike have until Sunday, February 18, to participate in the auction.
