This spring, baseball enthusiasts and collectors are in for a treat as Huggins & Scott presents an auction that is sure to ignite the passion of any baseball memorabilia aficionado. Featuring over 1,600 exceptional lots, this event is set to dazzle with its array of legendary baseball cards and memorabilia.
At the center of this highly anticipated auction is the coveted T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, a gem among the famed ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series. This particular card stands out due to a misspelling of outfielder Sherry Magee’s name, leading to its rarity and high demand among collectors. Joining the ranks of other T206 legends such as Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l, the Magie card is a true treasure for any serious collector.
In a surprising twist, the auction also unveils three previously undiscovered 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards, an exciting find that has captured the attention of baseball card enthusiasts. These cards are part of a scarce schedule-card set that predates the well-known 1914 BN set featuring Babe Ruth’s rookie card, making them a valuable addition to any collection.
The pre-war section of the auction boasts an impressive lineup of coveted cards, 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 post-war enthusiasts, the auction offers a wide selection of baseball cards, featuring highlights such as 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, as well as signed memorabilia from baseball legends like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente, will be up for auction.
The bidding for these remarkable pieces of baseball history is already underway and will run until Thursday, April 4, with initial bids closing at 9 PM ET. This auction presents a rare chance for collectors to own a piece of baseball lore, with a variety of rarities and memorabilia that cater to even the most discerning tastes.
