2020 Sports Collecting Year in Review

December 30, 2020 By Rich Mueller

It was like one long Stefon skit from Saturday Night Live.  2020 had everything.   Millennial artists doing weird things to famous rookie cards.  A case break party at a football stadium. Babe Ruth in a baggie. Pre-War white elephants in Yahtzee boxes.  Russian ransomware. Card shows during a raging pandemic. And the hobby's hottest nightclub … [Read more...]

November 5, 2020 By Rich Mueller

A fresh find of 21 cards from the scarce, century-old “J-K Candy” set including a one-of-a-kind Ty Cobb has been uncovered and will be up for auction beginning later this month.

November 1, 2020 By Bob D'Angelo

An artist from Florida found a masterpiece. And like any great work of art, it will be heading to auction, where it is certain to fetch a nice price. "Sue" did not realize what she had until she showed a sports-loving friend a baggie filled with 176 cards from the 1916 M101-4 Sporting News set. The pile included plenty of Hall of Famers, including a Babe Ruth rookie … [Read more...]

Newly Discovered 1960 L.A. Examiner Lakers Set Includes Rookie Cards of West, Baylor

September 11, 2020 By Adam Warshaw

Basketball cards have been red-hot lately, and with the increased interest in mainstream vintage basketball sets, which are few in number from 1949 to 1969, collectors often turn their attention to rare (and frequently obscure) regional and local issues to fill the voids, such as, the 1960’s Kahn’s Weiners set or the 1961 Bell Lakers set.  One recently uncovered issue, the … [Read more...]

Massive Pre-War Card Collection Consigned to REA

July 14, 2020 By Rich Mueller

Across the country, as families stay at home during the current pandemic, some are attending to projects that have otherwise been put off due to time constraints associated with the demands of "normal" life.

VIDEO: Inside the Uncle Jimmy Collection

Uncle Jimmy Collection autographed cards

It's probably safe to say the "Find of the Year" race is already over, at least when it comes to collections previously unknown to the hobby. It's pretty tough to top the Uncle Jimmy Collection. We've written about the collection a couple of times since the discovery was announced. It's since received mainstream media attention around the country. The lifelong … [Read more...]

The authentication, grading and marketing of one of the hobby’s most remarkable, yet quietest private collections continued in recent weeks and collectors will soon have the chance to see more of it.

New Jersey Man’s 80+ Year Baseball Collection Included Jaw-Dropping 1930s Autographs

May 7, 2020 By Rich Mueller

Uncle Jimmy Collection autographed cards

He lived in the same northern New Jersey house his entire life, an avid baseball fan and collector who quietly kept an always-growing collection of baseball cards, autographs and photos. He passed away in March at age 97 but the process of selling some of the sets and other items from his lifelong pursuit had been underway for a couple of years.  It wasn't until recently, … [Read more...]

North Carolina Man Finds Rare T210 Old Mill Joe Jackson

March 5, 2020 By Bob D'Angelo

If you list it, they will come. The lure of “Shoeless” Joe Jackson baseball cards remains strong a century after his heyday. And a 26-year-old North Carolina resident owns one of the toughest Jackson cards around. It will be part of a Heritage Auctions sale in two months and is sure to draw some interest. Ben Foster, of Raleigh, North Carolina, has a T210 Old Mill card of … [Read more...]
