One of the crown jewels of this auction is the 1909 T204 Ramly Walter Johnson rookie card. With only two cards in NM/MT condition graded PSA 8, this rare gem has quickly attracted a six-figure bid. Equally impressive is the T206 Ty Cobb Portrait (Green) card, of which only three copies graded PSA 7 are known to exist. Alongside it is the highly rated PSA 6 Cobb ‘Bat Off Shoulder’ Old Mill back.
The pre-war era is well-represented in this collection, with exceptional pieces like the PSA 7 graded T206 Cy Young and the highest graded PSA 9 T206 Nap Lajoie (Throwing) card. A standout item is the 1952 Bowman Mickey Mantle card, graded PSA 9 and one of only 13 at this level, with just two known to be higher graded.
The legacy of Mickey Mantle continues in this auction, with six additional cards from the 1950s. Each card is graded either 8 or 9, including prized versions from the 1953 Topps and Bowman series.
Roberto Clemente’s cards from 1956 to 1973 dominate this auction, particularly those graded Mint 9. His cards outnumber those of other players, showcasing the enduring popularity of this baseball legend. Willie Mays also takes a prominent spot with exceptional pieces, such as the rare 1962 Topps card graded PSA 9 and a 1970 Topps card, one of only two graded PSA 10.
The auction also features four Jackie Robinson cards, highlighting PSA graded versions of his 1949 Bowman and 1952 Topps issues. Additionally, collectors can find PSA 10 rookie cards of baseball greats George Brett and Rickey Henderson.
