Legendary Baseball Cards Auction
This spring, Huggins & Scott is setting the stage for an extraordinary event in the world of baseball memorabilia auctions. With over 1,600 remarkable lots up for bidding, this auction is a treasure trove for enthusiasts looking to own a piece of history.
At the center of attention is the T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, a prized possession among collectors for its rarity and historical significance. Part of the esteemed ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series, this card bears the misspelled name of outfielder Sherry Magee, thanks to a printing error swiftly corrected, making these cards incredibly scarce and highly sought after. The Magie card stands shoulder to shoulder with other T206 legends like Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l, adding to its allure.
Adding an exciting twist to the auction are three recently unearthed 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards. These cards are part of a limited schedule-card set that precedes the 1914 BN set famously featuring Babe Ruth’s rookie card, making them a rare and valuable find for collectors looking to expand their collection with unique pieces of baseball history.
The pre-war selection in the auction boasts a range of highly coveted cards, including a 1934 World Wide Gum Babe Ruth in PSA 3 and Lou Gehrig in SGC 3, an 1887 N28 Allen & Ginter Mike “King” Kelly in SGC 6, an 1888 N28 Allen & Ginter John Montgomery Ward in PSA 6, and a 1917 E135 Collins-McCarthy Honus Wagner in PSA 4.
For post-war aficionados, the auction showcases notable cards such as a 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle rookie card in PSA 3, a 1948-49 Leaf Jackie Robinson rookie in PSA 2, Hank Aaron’s 1954 Topps rookie in PSA 6 and 1955 Topps in PSA 8, a 1955 Topps Sandy Koufax in PSA 7, and a 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews rookie high number in PSA 4. Additionally, a 1961 Topps set with 524 of the 572 autographed cards and signed memorabilia from baseball icons like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente are also on the auction block.
The bidding excitement is already in full swing and will continue until Thursday, April 4, with the initial bids closing at 9 PM ET. This auction offers a unique opportunity for collectors to own a piece of baseball history, with rarities and memorabilia that will captivate even the most discerning enthusiasts. Whether you are looking to add a rare gem to your collection or own a signed piece from a baseball legend, this auction promises something truly special for every collector.
