Huggins & Scott is unveiling an unparalleled auction event that promises to set the hearts of baseball memorabilia enthusiasts alight. The highlight of this spectacle is the breathtaking presence of the T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, a gem among the illustrious ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series. This card’s allure stems from a spelling blunder that immortalized outfielder Sherry Magee, leading to the creation of an extremely scarce collectible. The Magie card stands shoulder to shoulder with legendary T206 names like Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l.
In a surprising twist, the auction introduces a remarkable find – three previously undiscovered 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards. These cards form part of a rare set that predates the 1914 BN set, famous for featuring the iconic Babe Ruth rookie card. The appearance of these Orioles cards is a testament to the excitement and thrill that permeate the world of baseball card collecting.
Delving into the pre-war treasures up for grabs, aficionados can feast their eyes on coveted relics such as the 1934 World Wide Gum Babe Ruth (PSA 3) and Lou Gehrig (SGC 3). Additionally, gems like the 1887 N28 Allen & Ginter Mike “King” Kelly (SGC 6), the 1888 N28 Allen & Ginter John Montgomery Ward (PSA 6), and the 1917 E135 Collins-McCarthy Honus Wagner (PSA 4) will captivate collectors with their historical significance and rarity.
For those enamored with post-war baseball lore, the auction offers an impressive array of cards including the iconic 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle rookie card (PSA 3), the 1948-49 Leaf Jackie Robinson rookie (PSA 2), and Hank Aaron’s 1954 Topps rookie (PSA 6) and 1955 Topps (PSA 8). Not to be outdone, the lineup includes a 1955 Topps Sandy Koufax (PSA 7) and a 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews rookie high number (PSA 4). Furthermore, a 1961 Topps card set featuring 524 of the 572 cards with autographs and signed memorabilia from luminaries like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente will be up for auction.
The bidding frenzy for these esteemed baseball artifacts is already in full swing and will culminate on Thursday, April 4, with the closure of initial bids set for 9 PM ET. This auction is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for collectors to own a piece of baseball history, with rarities that will satiate even the most discerning of tastes. Mark your calendars and dive into the thrill of the hunt for these legendary baseball cards and memorabilia.
