The Search for Satchel. For Perez-Steele collectors, this is arguably the ultimate autographed find. Certified by @PSAcard, the pitching icon was only alive for a short time after the card was made (1981), passing away in 1982. Currently @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction.
Mickey & Griffey. One of the coolest signed baseball cards issued during the 1990s, and two of the greatest centerfielders to ever step on the field. From one generation to another. It closes tonight at @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction.
A May Monster @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction . The event is something special, and so is this 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle from an eye-appeal perspective. In the grade, and in some cases above it, it is hard to imagine a nicer example between the black lines. Simply stunning.
This image of #Yankees icon Joe DiMaggio signing autographs is a time machine. Oftentimes, adults were known to be well dressed at baseball games, but you can see the same could be true of kids. While I wouldn't want to wear a suit to a game, there is something cool about it.
A rare Mickey Mantle Type I photo used for his 1951 Bowman and two other iconic cards sold for $843,750 at @Heritage_Sport last night. Here’s my story on the remarkable provenance behind this image. @CollectingByJoe #thehobby ripped.topps.com/mickey-mantle-…
Monumental Mantle. This Type I photo of the #Yankees icon, an image used for his 1951 Bowman rookie card and more, sold for a record $843,750 tonight @HeritageAuction. The impact that Mickey had on an entire generation cannot be overstated, and his legend lives on.
Superman Becomes The Six Million Dollar Man? Well, from a superhero perspective that would be a downgrade, but @HeritageAuction this 1938 Action Comics #1 (Superman’s first appearance) sold for $6 million, a new record. Iconic always sells.
A Beast of a Box. You used to see these boxes more often, but some collectors opened them over time. Home to RCs of Wilt, Oscar, West, etc., the 1961 Fleer set is arguably the most popular vintage hoops issue of all time. It's part of the May @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction.
Fantastic Flannels. They must've been hell to wear on a hot day, but I will take them over current #MLB knits all day. @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction has a few slated for May, including those worn by The Big Train & The Left Arm of God. Who do you want on the mound in Game 7?
The Summer of '69. The blue, red, and yellow colors on this 1969 Topps Pete Rose give it the kind of eye appeal one would expect in the top-shelf grade. This spectacular @PSAcard Gem Mint 10 example sold for $38,730 @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction over the weekend.
Too Funny. This was sent to me today. It's kind of like an M. Night Shyamalan movie ending ... I didn't see it coming:
Look at the beating this game-worn Raiders helmet took 💪
The Dark Knight in Undisturbed Form. Beyond the scarcity this 1966 Batman 2nd Series (Red Bat) cello box offers, the external graphics are terrific. Cello boxes from this era are often generic. The display value here is outstanding. Currently @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction.
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words, and Sometimes More. From @SICollects - Inside the Growing Popularity of Type I Photos by - a category that has generated record prices in recent years @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction. collectibles.si.com/news/inside-th…
1958 Topps can be brutally tough for the collector seeking high-grade specimens, but when they look like this, wow. The colors on this challenging "Yellow Letter" Roberto Clemente give it eye appeal from across the room. Currently featured @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction.
The Ryan Express Flies Solo: a @PSAcard Gem Mint 10 to Mint 9 comparison. It can be hard for collectors to differentiate between the two grades. Here, you can see the rich colors and eye appeal the "10" exhibits versus the two "9s" - currently @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction.
Set Collecting is Alive & Well. Just a few examples from @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction this past weekend: PSA 10, 1959 Topps Football Rote ($34,800), PSA 10, 1969 Topps Mazeroski ($27,600), PSA 10, 1961 Fleer Basketball Lee ($25,200) and a PSA 8, 1952 Topps Olson ($12,600).
Richie Rich. Over a century ago, this rarity was issued - the T205 Gold Border Hoblitzell (No Stats) variation. Tonight, @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction, one from the Ramsburg Collection sold for $37,200. It was one of many strong prices. Some lots remain open at this time.
Cardboard Gold. Tonight @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction, this recently discovered 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee Hockey wax case sold for $3.72 million. It was one of many record prices generated during Session One. More to come tomorrow.
Episode Two: A Look Inside an Abyss of Sports Memorabilia. Recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with super collector Marshall Fogel and @itsgeoffwilson of @SportsCardInv. Sponsored by @Heritage_Sport & @HeritageAuction. youtube.com/watch?v=JSPqYk…

George Brett is the only player in MLB history to win a batting title in three different decades and it all started here with his 1975 Topps rookie card It's one of The Hobby's most beloved modern debuts and this beauty is one of just 11 to reach PSA 10 sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-c…
Here’s my painting of Lou Gehrig posing for a photographer (and me) in his road grays at Yankee Stadium, 1937. I’ve always loved this image—it’s probably one of the first ever I saw of the great man. It was an honor to paint it.
For decades these 1888 cards were referred to as "Scrapps Tobacco" but this century it was discovered they were printed by HD Smith & Co, who offered these cards of the DET Wolverines & STL Browns with their gum, making it one of the earliest gum issues sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-c…

Very cool Babe Ruth piece for the duffers in The Hobby opening this weekend The Bambino wrote this check to the St. Albans Golf Club in Ohio, a course he frequented based on the handful of Ruth signed St Albans scorecards we’ve sold in the past. And it has a PSA/DNA 10 Ruth auto
Here's my painting of Roberto Clemente at the Polo Grounds in 1955, based on the photography of William Jacobellis. I really love those early shots of him with the old uniform and the constant helmet. I just wish that more of them WEREN'T taken with flash photography.
It's always difficult to find high grade examples of card #1 in any set, which is a big reason behind the huge number posted over the weekend by this 1975 Topps '74 Highlights Hank Aaron #1 in a PSA 10 that realized $32,400!
Love seeing where my work lives in other folks’ homes and offices. Beyond grateful that y’all seem to enjoy what I do!!
Here’s my painting of a 19-year-old pitcher for the Providence Grays named George Herman Ruth. Anybody have any idea what ever happened to him?
It’s one of the rarest cards in The Hobby, the T206 Cobb with a Cobb ad back A few months ago this one was sitting raw in our consignors collection. On Friday night it sold for $432,000!
Some heat from the all-time strikeout king over the weekend This 1969 Topps Nolan Ryan in a PSA 10, pop three, sold for $180,000
After all of these years, this guy still looms incredibly large over the game, as well as the country. Here’s my painting of George Herman “Babe” Ruth at Yankee Stadium’s 25th anniversary, June 13, 1948, based on the incredible photography of Nat Fein.
Look at the beating this game-worn Raiders helmet took 💪
Here’s my painting of Derek Jeter celebrating after his walk-off single on September 25, 2014, which was his last at-bat at Yankee Stadium. Based off of Al Bello’s glorious camerawork.
