Huggins & Scott is set to host a must-see auction for baseball memorabilia enthusiasts, featuring a stunning collection of over 1,600 lots that will excite even the most seasoned collectors. At the center of this extraordinary event is the rare T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, one of the prized ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series. This card stands out due to a misspelling of outfielder Sherry Magee’s name, an error quickly rectified in subsequent printings, making these mistake cards exceptionally scarce and highly coveted. The Magie card shares its esteemed status with other T206 legends such as Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l.
A significant highlight of this auction is the unveiling of three previously undiscovered 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards. These cards are a part of a limited schedule-card set that predates the more famous 1914 BN set, which includes Babe Ruth’s rookie card. The unearthing of these rare cards adds an element of excitement and intrigue to the world of baseball card collecting.
The auction boasts an impressive array of pre-war treasures, including sought-after cards like 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 enthusiasts of post-war baseball cards, the auction offers a diverse selection, 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), and a 1952 Topps Eddie Mathews rookie high number (PSA 4). Moreover, a 1961 Topps set with 524 of the 572 cards autographed, as well as signed memorabilia from baseball legends such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente, will be featured.
The bidding for this exceptional assortment of baseball history is now open and will run until Thursday, April 4, with the initial bids closing at 9 PM ET. This auction represents a rare chance for collectors to own a piece of baseball lore, with a wide range of rarities and memorabilia sure to captivate aficionados seeking unique pieces to add to their collections.
