It’s been an active year for Robert Edward Auctions. The company has sold nearly 17,000 items across its first five auctions of the year with total sales exceeding $19.4 million. Their newest auction should push sales well past $20 million.
More than 3,700 items ranging from an 1888 Allen & Ginter boxing card collection that includes Jack Dempsey and John Sullivan to a 2020 Topps Chrome Mike Trout Refractor SGC 10 are part of REA’s June Encore catalog.
The new auction features more than 830 T206 cards and dozens of Goudeys including all four Babe Ruth cards in lower grades.
Boxing cards representing exceptional type cards from the 19th century through 1950s staples, signed Exhibits and other cards, are also presented in more than 100 lots.
“We have a great selection of items in our June Auction, ranging from some of the hobby’s longtime staples, such as Cracker Jack and T206 cards, to some incredibly unique boxing and non-sport items for collectors to choose from,” remarked REA President Brian Dwyer.
