Debra Colvin remembers talking to a friend of hers, a collector of sports memorabilia, about a mysterious tobacco baseball card she and her husband had inherited from her mother-in-law. What the Colvins found is considered Honus Wagner’s rookie card, distributed between 1897 and 1899. Theirs is only the third one known to exist. This month, the card will go up for bid from the Lelands auction house, billed on its website as “Honus Wagner: Rarest of All.” “It could sell for $50,000 very easily,” said Michael Heffner, president of Lelands. The auction at Lelands.com begins May 18 and ends June 15. Read the full story by Anya Sostek of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette here.

When Yankees pitcher David Wells put on a decades-old Babe Ruth cap in June of 1997, then trotted out to the mound to start the game, it was a little piece of the Babe was back in action. It was a plucky move by the often irreverent Wells, a guy who does indeed relish the game’s storied past. He wound up getting fined by manager Joe Torre, who made him take it off. Now, 15 years later, Wells has decided to put the cap and a number of other items he owns, up for auction. He’s consigned them to SCP Auctions, which is offering them in the catalog sale they will open today. Read full story on Sports Collectors Daily.
