Goodwin & Company’s “Masterpieces and Uncommon Commons XXXIX” is open for bidding and closes on Thursday March 15th. The auction features 781 lots of amazing sports cards and memorabilia. A dazzling 1934 Goudey card of Lou Gehrig graded mint 9 begins our catalog followed by the coveted 1933 Goudey Lajoie and a Jim Thorpe rookie card. The set collector will be excited to find the seldom offered complete sets of the Horrors of War issue (#3 on the PSA Set Registry), a regional 1952 Num Num set and a Goodwin Champions set of 8 baseball players. Many Hall of Fame rookie cards can be found including Rodgers Hornsby, George Sisler, Buck Weaver, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Richie Ashburn and mint examples of Bob Gibson, Robin Roberts and a 1936-37 O-Pee-Chee Charlie Conacher.
Under the category of unusual and seldom seen are a 1920 Sterioviewer with Ruth, Gehrig and Tom Mix slides included, a circa 1916 Babe Ruth postcard, an 1869 Peck & Snyder small version of the Cincinnati Red Stockings and an 1890s ad card of a Negro League team featuring Charles Grant. These examples just brush the depth of the auction catalog and I am confident you will find many more items that would hold a place of honor and add prestige to your collection.
