Baseball enthusiasts and collectors are eagerly anticipating the upcoming auction by Huggins & Scott set to be a treasure trove for those passionate about baseball memorabilia. The event, not to be missed, promises a glimpse into some of the most sought-after baseball cards and collectibles in the world.
One of the highlights of the auction is the rare T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, which stands out as one of the prized possessions among the elite ‘Big Four’ collection of the T206 series. This particular card features a misspelling of outfielder Sherry Magee’s name, leading to its distinction as an error card. Due to the quick correction of this printing mistake, the Magie card has become exceptionally rare and highly coveted by collectors, joining the ranks of other T206 legends like Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l.
In a significant discovery for baseball card enthusiasts, the auction introduces three newly uncovered 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards. These cards belong to a scarce schedule-card set that predates the 1914 BN set containing Babe Ruth’s rookie card, making them a valuable and rare find for collectors.
The auction boasts an impressive lineup of pre-war baseball card highlights, including coveted pieces such as 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 of post-war baseball cards, the auction offers a rich selection featuring iconic names like 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 featuring 524 autographed cards out of the 572, along with signed memorabilia from baseball legends such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente, will be up for bidding.
The auction is already underway, with bidding open until Thursday, April 4, and the initial bids set to close at 9 PM ET. This auction provides a unique opportunity for collectors to own a piece of baseball history, with a remarkable range of rarities and memorabilia that cater to even the most discerning baseball enthusiasts. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary chance to add a piece of baseball’s rich legacy to your collection.
