Legendary T206 Doyle Variation Headlines REA Fall Auction

September 25, 2015 By Rich Mueller

Robert Edward Auctions will be offering one of the rarest, most valuable baseball cards in existence when its fall catalog auction opens next week.

T206 Doyle NY Natl variationA T206 “Slow Joe” Doyle “NY Nat’l” variation, one of fewer than ten examples known to exist and graded SGC 50 (VG/EX), will carry a $100,000 reserve but is expected to go much higher. The card is from the same set as the famous T206 Wagner, but it is actually about ten times rarer and is the key stumbling block to completion of the classic T206 master set.  A different example of the same card graded PSA 3 sold for $414,750 at REA in 2012.

The card being offered by REA once belonged to well-known hobbyist Charlie Conlon and is the highest graded example in the hobby.  It’s also making a return to REA.  Back in 2009, the same example sold in the company’s annual spring auction for $329,000.  If you’re unfamiliar with the Doyle error, you can learn more here.

More than 1300 lots make up this year’s REA fall auction, which will run from September 28 through October 17.

Babe Ruth Sporting News rookie card 1916The Doyle card is one of many rare, vintage cards that will be up for grabs.  Collectors will also have a chance to bid on Babe Ruth’s 1916 Sporting News rookie card graded VG, Joe Jackson’s 1917 Boston Store card graded EX+, Josh Gibson’s 1951 Toleteros rookie card graded VG-EX, and several 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle cards, including examples graded NM-MT and EX+.

Other newly discovered items also promise to intrigue advanced collectors including an 1868 Atlantics Peck & Snyder advertising trade card (one of the earliest of all baseball cards), an 1895 N566 Newsboy Tobacco Cabinet John Ward (arms folded), and only the second known example of a 1921 Babe Ruth Proctor’s Theatre Vaudeville advertising card.

One of the hobby’s most comprehensive 1952 Topps collections also highlights the auction. The collection features Mickey Mantle 1952 Topps BVG 8the hobby’s #2-ranked “Super Set” consisting of all 407 cards in a basic set, all eighty red and black-back variations, back variations for Page, Sain, and Campos (black star), and 60 “Canadian” gray backs. The 407-card basic set boasts a 7.87 GPA overall, highlighted by 14 mint 9s and dozens of stars, Hall of Famers, and high numbers graded NM-MT 8 and NM 7. Also included in the collection is a 75% complete autographed master set consisting of approximately 350 cards all encapsulated by PSA/DNA.

“This is now the third fall auction we’ve run, and the response to the first two was tremendous. The feedback we’ve received from buyers and sellers alike really confirmed to us that there’s just an enormous demand for the services we provide, far greater than can be satisfied by just one auction per year,” said REA President Robert Lifson. “An essential ingredient that makes our auctions so special is the enormous amount of work that is invested in each auction. That will never change. Whether we have one, two, or someday three auctions per year, the one thing we can promise is that every auction will be extremely carefully assembled and a special event. This auction is no exception, and it has an incredible number of outstanding items.”

Joe Jackson 1916 Boston StoreREA’s catalogs are free for the asking. “You don’t have to bid to receive a catalog,” Lifson stated. “It is our great pleasure to send them out, for free, to anyone who is interested in the types of items we offer. We’re very much looking forward to collectors getting the catalog in their hands. Sending out catalogs is one of the ways we promote interest in the hobby and collecting, as well as in our auctions. So many collectors today tell us they got their start learning about the hobby through REA catalogs. That’s a great feeling, even if it’s starting to make me feel old!”

Catalogs for the auction begin mailing September 25, and bidding begins September 28. The final day for bidding will be Saturday, October 17. For a free catalog and to register for the auction, visit www.RobertEdwardAuctions.com. The company is already working on assembling their Spring Auction, slated for April 2016, and is accepting consignments through the end of the year. For more information, call 908-226-9900 or visit www.RobertEdwardAuctions.com.
