Baseball enthusiasts and collectors alike are in for a treat as Huggins & Scott presents a legendary auction, offering an array of extraordinary baseball memorabilia. The standout piece of this auction is the T206 Sherry “Magie” error card, one of the revered ‘Big Four’ in the T206 series. This card bears the misspelled name of outfielder Sherry Magee, creating a valuable printing error that has made this card incredibly rare and highly sought after by collectors. Alongside icons like Honus Wagner, Eddie Plank, and Doyle NY Nat’l, the Magie card is a true gem in the world of baseball card collecting.
Newly unveiled are three 1910 Baltimore News Orioles cards, marking a significant discovery in the realm of baseball card collecting. These cards belong to a scarce schedule-card set that predates the more popular 1914 BN set, which famously features Babe Ruth’s rookie card. The inclusion of these early Orioles cards adds a layer of historical depth to the auction, capturing the attention of devoted collectors looking to expand their collections with rare finds.
The pre-war selection in this auction is nothing short of impressive, boasting coveted cards that will surely excite collectors.

These pre-war cards hold a special place in baseball history and are must-haves for serious collectors.
As the auction progresses into the post-war era, collectors can look forward to iconic cards like the 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle rookie card (PSA 3) and the 1948-49 Leaf Jackie Robinson rookie (PSA 2). The offerings also include 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).
