Huggins & Scott is set to host an extraordinary auction that will captivate the hearts of baseball enthusiasts worldwide. The highlight of the event is no other than the extremely rare T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, a gem among the renowned ‘Big Four’ of the T206 series. This card’s fame stems from a curious mistake – the misspelling of outfielder Sherry Magee’s name, which led to the creation of a small batch of error cards before the correction was made. As a result, these error cards became highly coveted and elusive, joining the league of other T206 legends such as Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l.
Adding to the auction’s appeal are three recently discovered 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards. These cards form part of a scarce set of schedule cards from the early 1910s, predating the more famous 1914 BN set that introduced Babe Ruth’s rookie card to the world. The emergence of these cards marks a significant find in the realm of baseball card collecting, offering collectors a chance to own a piece of baseball history that is both rare and historically valuable.
For aficionados of pre-war baseball memorabilia, the auction presents a treasure trove of coveted cards, 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). These items carry with them a rich history and a sense of nostalgia that is irreplaceable for collectors and fans alike.
Moreover, the auction boasts an impressive selection of post-war baseball cards, featuring iconic pieces such as 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 complete 1961 Topps set with 524 of the 572 cards autographed will be available for bidding, along with signed memorabilia from baseball icons like Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente.
For those eager to participate, bidding for these extraordinary pieces of baseball history has already commenced and will run until Thursday, April 4, with initial bids closing at 9 PM ET. This auction presents a rare chance to own a slice of the baseball past, with a variety of rarities and memorabilia that will resonate with even the most discerning collectors. Don’t miss out on this exclusive opportunity to own a piece of baseball history!
