A rarity in the world of sports memorabilia is set to captivate collectors at the upcoming Clean Sweep Auctions event, as the elusive 1913 Voskamp’s Coffee Honus Wagner card takes center stage. Originally distributed by a local Pittsburgh company, these cards have become scarce over the past century. The card up for grabs has been recently graded by PSA, making it a coveted find for enthusiasts.

Aside from the historic Wagner card, the auction boasts an impressive array of vintage baseball cards and memorabilia. From 1887 N172 Old Judge cards featuring Hall of Famers to a variety of Ty Cobb cards showcasing the legend’s early career and a Cy Young Portrait card capturing the essence of a legendary pitcher, the selection is diverse and captivating.

For fans of pre-war treasures, the auction offers a peek into early 20th-century baseball collectibles with a lot of P2 Sweet Caporal pins and rare items like the E103 Williams Caramel Ty Cobb and the E101 Honus Wagner card. Completing the vintage lineup are collector-grade 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth cards, a 1941 Play Ball Joe DiMaggio, and a scarce 1954 Wilson Franks Ted Williams.

Modern highlights include a nearly complete autographed 1952 Bowman Baseball set that showcases signatures from baseball greats like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays. Basketball aficionados can bid on iconic Michael Jordan cards from the 1980s, while football collectors will find a range of Bart Starr cards spanning his career.

The memorabilia section of the auction is equally enticing, featuring treasures like a Walter Johnson single-signed baseball, a 1933 New York Yankees team-signed baseball with signatures from Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig, and a Roger Maris rookie card.
