You be the Old Judge! Pre-War Cards Line the Basepaths in October 22 Sports Showcase Auction
Heritage Auctions is excited to present 80 lots of Pre-War baseball cards, dating from 1887 forward in our October 22 Sports Showcase Auction, which is now live on HA.com/sports. The origin of professional baseball is covered with two issues of King Kelly and a Tim Keefe, followed by an array of T-206, Caramels and a mass of Goudeys. The full evolution from tobacco cards to candy cards to gum cards is up for bidding.
All lots will open at 25% of the low estimate and will close in 30-minute Extended Bidding format.
Consign to Monthly Auction
Suitable material for consignment to the Monthly Showcase Sports Auction will include graded trading cards, autographed material already authenticated by such services as PSA/DNA, Beckett, Upper Deck and Steiner, and game-used material already authenticated by the likes of PSA/DNA, MEARS and MeiGray. Consignors of certain types of memorabilia not requiring third-party authentication, such as championship rings or World Series programs and press pins, may also be eligible.
“Quite simply, we have listened to our clientele, who have been asking for expedited auctions,” says Heritage’s Chris Ivy, Director of Sports Auctions. “This new format is going to appeal to a large audience looking to decrease the time from delivery of their consignments to the receipt of their settlement checks.”
From promotions to PR, these Monthly Showcase Auctions will be treated like every other major catalog event at Heritage. These auctions are no less fantastic than the auctions that have made Heritage the world’s largest sports-collectibles, only more frequent. Each one will be heavily promoted electronically via email, featured placement on the Heritage Auctions website and highlight mailers.
