Huggins & Scott is gearing up to host an unmissable auction for baseball memorabilia enthusiasts, featuring a remarkable collection of over 1,600 exceptional lots. One of the standout pieces in this auction is the rare T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, which holds a coveted spot among the illustrious ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series. The error on this card stems from a misspelling of outfielder Sherry Magee’s name, a blunder that was quickly rectified, resulting in the Magie card becoming extremely rare and highly sought after. The Magie card shares its prestigious status with other iconic T206 cards like the legendary Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l.
A significant highlight of this auction is the introduction of three recently unearthed 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards. Part of a scarce schedule-card set that predates the famous 1914 BN set featuring Babe Ruth’s rookie card, these Baltimore News Orioles cards are a remarkable find for passionate collectors of baseball memorabilia.
The pre-war segment of the auction is brimming with coveted treasures, 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 collectors interested in post-war baseball cards, the auction presents a diverse selection that includes 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). Moreover, a 1961 Topps set featuring 524 autographed cards out of the 572 total, along with signed memorabilia from baseball icons such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente, will also be up for grabs.
