Mantle’s ‘Gift’ Home Run Jersey Up for Auction Could Also Be Last He Ever Wore

January 31, 2022 By Rich Mueller

A familiar piece of baseball history returns to Heritage Auctions, this time with a new story to tell more than a half century since it last saw action. On two previous occasions, the Dallas-based action house has offered the jersey Mickey Mantle wore when he struck his 535th home run on Sept. 19, 1968 – the so-called “Gift” served to the New York Yankees … [Read more...] about Mantle’s ‘Gift’ Home Run Jersey Up for Auction Could Also Be Last He Ever Wore

Notes: PSA Still Overwhelmed, Making Moves; MJ 10 a Fractional Sellout; More

October 1, 2020 By Rich Mueller

PSA says it has nearly doubled operating capacity through the first nine months of 2020 but the volume of submissions has doubled, too, and the company's gigantic backlog of orders is still growing.   Earlier this year, PSA reported a backlog of nearly 1.5 million items and customer wait times for all but the highest level of services was well beyond advertised … [Read more...] about Notes: PSA Still Overwhelmed, Making Moves; MJ 10 a Fractional Sellout; More

Denny McLain Holding Estate Sale

September 28, 2020 By Rich Mueller

The last pitcher to win 30 games in a season is having an estate sale. Former Detroit Tigers ace Denny McLain is 76 now and preparing to downsize. This Friday through Sunday, he’s offering up bits and pieces of his life and career from his home in Wixom, MI. McLain is working with Aaron’s Estate Sales for the event.  The 1968 Cy Young Award winner and American … [Read more...] about Denny McLain Holding Estate Sale

5 Cards to Capture Baseball As It Was 50 Years Ago

May 3, 2018 By Rich Mueller

It was the last year in which finishing at the top of the standings in your league meant an automatic berth in the World Series.  It was the year in which Nolan Ryan and Johnny Bench made their baseball card debuts and a year in which the American League batting champ barely hit .300.  In 1968, baseball card packs were still a nickel, and while you won't find even … [Read more...] about 5 Cards to Capture Baseball As It Was 50 Years Ago

Baseball Cards of 30-Game Winners Since 1917

September 19, 2017 By Chris Levy

In the 19th century pitchers posting a 30-win season was commonplace, with many winning 40, and a select few even won 50 games in a season. In the Deadball Era the game changed and fewer pitchers reached 30 wins, but it still happened. Since 1917 only five pitchers have won 30 games in a season, and no one has done so since 1968. It is a milestone that is likely not to be … [Read more...] about Baseball Cards of 30-Game Winners Since 1917

Jersey from ‘Grooved’ Mantle Homer No. 535 Fetching Big Bucks

February 20, 2017 By Rich Mueller

Mantle jersey signed Tom Catal

Denny McLain’s earned run average in 1968 was 1.96.  It might have been just a little lower if he hadn’t voluntarily surrendered a late-season home run to Mickey Mantle.  The story behind the gesture to an aging slugger by baseball’s last 30-game winner is playing out in an auction that could result in a record price for a Mickey Mantle jersey. The road grey … [Read more...] about Jersey from ‘Grooved’ Mantle Homer No. 535 Fetching Big Bucks

1970 Topps Baseball: Of Miracle Mets, Price Increases and Multiple Inserts

November 10, 2011 By Rich Mueller

Baseball card boxes 1970

In many ways the 1970 Topps Baseball card set was both fun and a historically significant.  In July 1969, the miracle of man first landing on the moon grabbed worldwide headlines.   Only a few short months later another miracle occurred as the Mets shocked the world and won the World Series.  This latter “miracle” was commemorated in the 1970 baseball set as card … [Read more...] about 1970 Topps Baseball: Of Miracle Mets, Price Increases and Multiple Inserts

Lolich Still Making Fans Happy

May 27, 2011 By Rich Mueller

It's been almost 43 years but 1968 seems like yesterday for fans of the Detroit Tigers.  In the midst of civil unrest, an escalating war in Vietnam and tough times in their hometown, the Tigers turned an entire state on its collective ear. Denny McLain won 31 games but Mickey Lolich was no slouch either.  In fact, it was his pitching that helped the Tigers to the 1968 World … [Read more...] about Lolich Still Making Fans Happy
