If you’re a sports card aficionado and want to own a piece of history, look no further than Memory Lane’s distinguished Premier Auction. This exclusive event, open until February 4th, features a carefully curated collection of 120 vintage sports cards that will leave collectors drooling. With its limited yet impressive selection, this auction promises to be a treat for card enthusiasts.
One of the crown jewels of this auction is the 1909 T204 Ramly Walter Johnson rookie card. Graded PSA 8, this card is one of only two in NM/MT condition, making it an extremely rare find. Unsurprisingly, it has already attracted a six-figure bid. Another noteworthy card is the T206 Ty Cobb Portrait (Green) card, with only three copies graded PSA 7 in existence. Also up for grabs is a highly rated PSA 6 Cobb ‘Bat Off Shoulder’ Old Mill back card.
Fans of the pre-war era will be delighted to find exceptional pieces like the PSA 7 graded T206 Cy Young card and the highest graded PSA 9 T206 Nap Lajoie (Throwing) card. However, the star of the show is undoubtedly the 1952 Bowman Mickey Mantle card in PSA 9 grade. With only 13 cards at this level and few higher graded, this is an opportunity that collectors simply can’t afford to pass up.
The legacy of Mickey Mantle continues to shine in this auction with six additional cards from the 1950s. Each of these cards is graded either 8 or 9 and includes prized versions from the 1953 Topps and Bowman series. It’s a fantastic opportunity for fans of “The Mick” to add to their collections.
Roberto Clemente’s cards steal the show among the baseball offerings. With cards spanning from 1956 to 1973, there are numerous Mint 9 graded cards available, outnumbering those of other players. Willie Mays also gets his fair share of the spotlight with standout pieces like a rare 1962 Topps card graded PSA 9 and a 1970 Topps card, one of only two graded PSA 10.
Jackie Robinson fans will be pleased to find four of his cards up for auction. Highlights include PSA graded versions of his 1949 Bowman and 1952 Topps issues. But that’s not all—this auction also features PSA 10 rookie cards of baseball legends George Brett and Rickey Henderson.
Football and basketball collectors will not be disappointed either. The auction offers high-grade rookie cards of Frank Gifford, Johnny Unitas, and Joe Namath for football enthusiasts. Meanwhile, basketball collectors can look forward to rookie cards of Bill Russell (PSA 7), Wilt Chamberlain (PSA 8), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (PSA 8), Larry Bird/Magic Johnson (PSA 9), and Michael Jordan (PSA 8).
