An autographed Babe Ruth baseball leads the way, selling for $144,000 REA’s fall auction ended Sunday night with lots of high-dollar items. These auctions are the type that people follow, even if they aren’t invested in any bids themselves.

A sale of a rare autographed postcard will raise some eyebrows I had watched with great interest as a 1934 Exhibit card was being auctioned this month. Typically, autographs don’t do much for me personally, but this Exhibit was particularly unique. This Exhibit card included four New York Yankees on it, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Lefty Gomez, and Bill

Vintage NonSport Auctions to Begin Operations in 2019 These days, collectors of pre-war sports cards have plenty of options when it comes to auctions.

Highest price on record for a 1933 Babe Ruth Card (#181) A while back, I mentioned that Goldin Auctions would be offering a pretty rare Babe Ruth 1933 Goudey card. Now, the card itself isn’t rare. What is unique, though, is its high grade. It is one of only a handful of PSA 9s and, to date, only one PSA

The hobby’s latest find will appear in REA’s fall auction Back in April, I wrote about another Ty Cobb-backed tobacco card that was discovered. The cards, once extremely rare, were made slightly more common with the Lucky 7 find (and, subsequently, the find of an eighth card by the same family). Still, with only about two dozen known copies, it’s
Read moreModern Baseball Card Ramblings of a Pre-War Collector: 1988 Topps PSA Graded Packs
A weird thing happened recently. At least it was weird to me as I had no idea such a phenomenon was taking place. In case you missed it, PWCC recently auctioned off a PSA 10 pack of 1988 Topps trading cards (shown here). Packs of cards, of course, are graded, so that wasn’t the surprising part.
