Huggins & Scott is set to host a baseball memorabilia auction that promises to be a dream come true for all baseball enthusiasts. This spring, the auction will feature a collection of over 1,600 exceptional lots, with a spotlight on the rare T206 Sherry “Magie” error card – a true gem among the legendary ‘Big Four’ T206 series. The Magie card’s fame stems from a spelling error of outfielder Sherry Magee’s name, swiftly corrected but leaving behind a handful of error cards that are now prized possessions for collectors. Joining the ranks of 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 this remarkable auction are three recently discovered 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards. These cards are part of a seldom-seen pre-1914 set, preceding the famous 1914 BN set that includes Babe Ruth’s rookie card. The discovery of these Baltimore News Orioles cards marks a significant moment in baseball card collecting, offering a unique opportunity for collectors to own a piece of history.
The auction doesn’t stop there – it boasts a range of pre-war highlights that will make any collector’s heart skip a beat. Some of the coveted cards up for bidding include 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 pieces of history represent a rich tapestry of baseball’s past and are sure to attract serious bidders.
For collectors more inclined towards post-war baseball cards, the auction offers an array of iconic cards that have stood the test of time. From a 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle rookie card (PSA 3) to 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), to a 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews rookie high number (PSA 4) – there is something for every post-war baseball card collector. Additionally, a complete 1961 Topps set featuring 524 of the 572 cards autographed is up for grabs, along with signed memorabilia from baseball legends like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente.
Interested bidders have already begun placing their bids, with the auction set to close on Thursday, April 4 at 9 PM ET. This event presents a unique opportunity to own a piece of baseball history, from rare T206 cards to iconic pre and post-war baseball legends’ memorabilia. Don’t miss out on the chance to add these exceptional pieces to your collection.
