Huggins & Scott is set to dazzle baseball enthusiasts with an unparalleled auction, spotlighting a fusion of coveted memorabilia that will leave collectors salivating. The star of the show is none other than the esteemed T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, a gem nestled among the illustrious ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series. The historical blunder of misspelling outfielder Sherry Magee’s name led to the creation of this scarce and highly sought-after card. Alongside baseball greats like Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l, the Magie error card stands tall as a beacon of rarity and prestige.
Stepping into the limelight alongside the Magie card is a trio of recently unearthed 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards, creating a buzz in the world of baseball card collecting. These cards, part of a limited schedule-card set preceding the famed 1914 BN set housing Babe Ruth’s rookie card, offer collectors a rare glimpse into a bygone era of baseball history.
The auction entices with a plethora of pre-war treasures, including the likes of 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). These vintage gems hold a timeless appeal for aficionados of the sport’s early days.
For those with a penchant for post-war memorabilia, the auction presents a treasure trove of iconic cards. Sink your teeth into 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 boasting 524 autographed cards out of 572, coupled with signed memorabilia from luminaries like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente, await passionate collectors.
