Baseball enthusiasts and collectors, mark your calendars for a remarkable event brought to you by Huggins & Scott this spring. Prepare to be dazzled by a spectacular array of over 1,600 lots, showcasing iconic baseball cards and memorabilia that are sure to captivate all those with a passion for baseball history.
Front and center of this exceptional auction is the elusive T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, a prized possession among the legendary ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series. This card gained its prestige due to a misspelling of outfielder Sherry Magee’s name, resulting in a limited number of error cards that were swiftly corrected, making them highly coveted by collectors worldwide. The Magie card stands proudly alongside other T206 legends like Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l.
Adding a touch of excitement to the auction are three newly unearthed 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards, representing a significant find in baseball card collecting. These cards form part of a rare schedule-card set that predates the 1914 BN set which famously features Babe Ruth’s rookie card, making them a valuable discovery for collectors looking to expand their collections with unique pieces of baseball history.
The auction also features a magnificent collection of pre-war highlights, including sought-after cards such as 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).
For post-war enthusiasts, the auction offers a stunning selection of baseball cards, including 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 featuring 524 autographed cards out of the total 572, along with signed memorabilia from baseball legends such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente, will be up for grabs.
