Huggins & Scott is set to host an auction that will undoubtedly captivate the hearts of baseball memorabilia enthusiasts. Boasting over 1,600 exceptional lots, this event is a treasure trove for collectors seeking legendary baseball cards and memorabilia.
One of the highlights of this auction is the rare T206 Sherry “Magie” error card. This card holds a special place among the ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series due to a misspelling of outfielder Sherry Magee’s name. The swift correction of this printing mishap resulted in the Magie card becoming extremely rare and highly coveted by collectors. Joining the ranks of T206 legends like Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l, the Magie card is a must-have for any serious collector.
Adding to the allure of the auction are three newly discovered 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards. These cards are part of a scarce schedule-card set that predates the 1914 BN set featuring Babe Ruth’s rookie card, making them a valuable find for avid collectors. The unveiling of these cards marks a significant discovery in the world of baseball card collecting.
Among the pre-war gems up for auction are sought-after 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 cards represent a piece of baseball history that will undoubtedly spark fierce bidding wars.
The auction also features a rich selection of post-war baseball cards, including iconic pieces like 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 1961 Topps set with 524 of the 572 cards autographed, along with signed memorabilia from baseball legends such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente, will be up for grabs.
