Get ready to step into the world of baseball history and memorabilia as Huggins & Scott brings forth an auction that’s an absolute home run for any baseball enthusiast. The star of the show? The iconic T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, an elusive gem among collectors due to a glaring misspelling of the outfielder’s name. This rare printing error propelled the card to new heights of desirability, joining the ranks of legendary T206 cards like Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. The auction also highlights a remarkable find – three previously undiscovered 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards.

Transitioning into the post-war era, the auction showcases gems 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). To top it off, a complete 1961 Topps set with 524 autographed cards out of 572, as well as signed memorabilia from iconic baseball figures including Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, and Roberto Clemente, will be up for grabs.
