Huggins & Scott’s latest auction is a bonanza for baseball enthusiasts and memorabilia collectors alike, offering a treasure trove of over 1,600 lots that will have fans salivating. At the forefront of this must-see event is the iconic T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, a gem nestled among the revered ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series. Sporting a misspelled moniker of outfielder Sherry Magee, this printing faux pas quickly corrected itself, rendering the error cards exceedingly scarce and highly coveted. Standing shoulder to shoulder with the likes of the legendary Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l, the Magie card is a true collector’s delight.
In a stroke of luck for baseball card aficionados, the auction unveils a set of three previously undiscovered 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards. Part of a rare schedule-card set that predates the famous 1914 BN collection featuring Babe Ruth’s rookie card, these cards are a noteworthy find that adds an element of excitement to the auction floor.
The pre-war era shines bright with an array of sought-after cards up for grabs, including 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 fans of post-war baseball cards, the auction presents a tantalizing lineup that includes 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). Moreover, collectors can feast their eyes on a 1961 Topps set boasting 524 autographed cards out of 572, as well as signed memorabilia from baseball icons such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente.
The bidding frenzy for this unparalleled assortment of baseball history is already in full swing and will continue till Thursday, April 4th, with initial bids closing at 9 PM ET. This auction serves as a golden opportunity for enthusiasts to own a slice of baseball’s rich heritage, with rarities and memorabilia that cater to even the most discerning of collectors.
