Heritage's Turn
 

home sick today. Mailman just dropped off a package containing two 400+ page auction catalogs (one looks to be mostly sport cards, the other mostly memorabilia) and a 3rd 50+ page catalog of baseball art.

I went to lunch with Chris I. from Heritage yesterday. He is really excited about this auction and for good reason. It has some spectacular stuff in it. I propose the last night we make a chatroom session of it as we did for REA. (maybe I will be more involved in it this time)
Good luck to everyone going for anything and please don't bid on what I am bidding on!!

Pretty cool.

"Upon getting to the players from Detroit was a selection of five Ty Cobb cards. That alone was enough to satisfy my needs. It was turning that 9-pocket page over that introduced me to one of the rarest front/back T206 combinations known - the Ty Cobb Red Portrait with a glorious "Hindu Cigarettes" reverse in matching vibrant red ink!"

This is a serious auction with some amazing lots!

I really don't think this auction house gets as much love as they should. There website has the best images, the best search I've used and they have plenty of good stuff.

There are a lot of wow lots in this sampling not unlike REA...I'm really impressed with the offering this time around.

Cheers,

John

Leon - Let me know what you'll be bidding on and and I'll make sure to refrain. ;)

Would love to get a copy....help anyone?

- Mark

All of these lots are trimmed and no good, I can't understand why anyone would bid on these lots!!!!!!!! :)

Some nicer caramels...Lots of RH T206's...and some awesome high contrast OJ's...another Just So and an E221...I wonder who may want that!

Wonka...you forgot to profess your love/mancrush for Joe O?!:p

You're right I should call him now he loves taking my calls....

My opinion (Zach Smith) is that all of the cards in this auction are trimmed and thus not worth bidding upon.


I really do like the layout of the HA website though.

If I didn't already have that team in that color I would be very, very interested. It is a spectacular card imo. The E221s are one of my favorite card sets, aesthetically speaking.

c'mon Leon...you're not above hoarding.

You pay for it and I will hoard it. I already have that team in 2 different colors. :eek:

This auction is just garbage. They're all trimmed. Possible fake. You heard the inside scoop here first, stay away! ;)

Yowza!!! :eek:

Its already out of my price range.

Thanks for the heads up guys--I am now trying to retract all my earlier bids.

I can't understand why the King Kelly is bid so high? It says right on the card $10000 Kelly! Man, sometimes I crack myself up.

How can the Capt. Tebeau be the highest known grade Just So when REA sold a higher grade one only three nights ago? Short memory? Now it's a beautiful card, but it's only the second highest graded.

Heritage has gotten some major consignments over the last 2-3 years. Incredible selection of Trophies, Uniforms, Game Used Bats, Ticket Stubs, etc.

Heritage Auction
 

Hey Everyone,

Bidding for the Spring 2014 Heritage Sports Signature Auction has begun and once again our catalog will be in three volumes. The catalogs went into the mail on Friday April 25 and should be arriving in mailboxes any day now. This auction contains a great selection of vintage cards coming to us from multiple consignments of hobby fresh cards from the E254, T206, N172 and 1932 US Caramel series.

If you would like to receive a complimentary catalog, then please send your contact information to me at peterc@ha.com and I will be glad to get you registered and send out a catalog.

Bidding for the card lots in session one ends on Thursday, May 15, 2014. Same format as last auction, you have to have bid on a lot before 10pm central time to be able to bid during the 30-minute extended period. Each lot ends on its own 30-minute clock rule. Be sure to check the final session on November 9, there is a nice selection of vintage cards there too. The home page for the auction is at: http://sports.ha.com/?ic=task-sports. Registration is free!

We have also created a very cool page where you can keep up with the Most Recent Bid Activity in the auction. Here is the link to the Recent bid page: http://sports.ha.com/c/recent-bid-ac...zx?saleNo=7105

I think we have a great selection. This auction starts off with an N175 Gypsy Queen of King Kelly! After that 19th century fans will find dozens of N172s from two new collections, some have the best quality photos you could hope for. Add to that N28s and a pair of N300 Mayo’s of Clarkson and Anson. A little too common for your taste? We have a Just So Tobacco Capt. Tebeau, N403 Yum Yum Tiernan, two N321s, two Joseph Hall cabinets and a newly discovered N173 Old Judge Tim Keefe. The 20th Century starts off with an E107 Rube Waddell and a newly discovered E107 Honus Wagner! Joe Jackson fans will find an M101-2 supplement, a great looking E90-1 and his BF2 and W514 cards. Caramel card highlights include an E97 of Sullivan (Color), a NM+ E95 Evers, four lots of E254 Colgan’s Chips (all part of the collection with the T206 Hindu cards) and a complete run of E136/E137 Zeenuts. Tobacco fans will find both T205 Wilhelm variations, T215 Red Cross Tinker and Cobb cards, T207s a T208, high grade T202s and the T206s… including a selection of new Hindu Red and Brown backs. Among the Hindu roster is a partial set of southern leaguers, Napoleon Lajoie, Chief Bender, Johnny Evers, Clarke Griffith and yes, that Ty Cobb! For you Black Sox fans there is an E137 McMullen, E90-3 and C46 Gandil cards plus three Buck Weaver cards - his T207, E100 and T4 Obak Premium! Ty Cobb is well represented via his E90-1, E95, T206s (ten to choose from), T3 Turkey Red and M110 Sporting Life Cabinet cards.

Do you like rare? Got you covered. There are two “Big Eater” cards, two T217 Mono cards, a T208 Cullivan’s Fireside, an E221 team card, more T4s, an Old Mill cabinet and a 1913 Oakland Oaks card.

Naturally we have a set of E98 cards from the Black Swamp find. Until now, the game plan was to start with the best cards and continue on until the “lowest” graded set was remaining. Part of the feedback we received was from collectors who said they will wait until that last set becomes available, assuming it will be the cheapest. Well, now is your chance! You can’t tell by some of the grades but this set is the lowest graded complete set we could put together – if you consider Ty Cobb in “8” and a pair of the greatest looking “Good+ 2.5” cards you’ll ever see – and they are both Honus Wagner!

From the ‘30s there is a selection of high grade 1938 Goudey cards, the 1934 Goudey #1 Jimmy Foxx US Patent Office card, a newly discovered collection of incredible 1932 U.S. Caramel cards plus over a dozen Babe Ruth cards including his ’27 Honey Boy, E121, E220, V100, Tharp’s Ice Cream, E126, two different W511s, W512 (part of a set), WWG and four ’33 Goudey cards topped off by a #144 in SGC 84 NM 7! And that’s just the baseball section…

Post-war fans won’t be disappointed either, particularly 1952 Topps, 1953 Bowman Color, Red Man and 1962 Topps enthusiasts.

As mentioned, the auction runs from May 15-17, 2014 and Good Luck!

Man o Man..i was hoping nobody notice this auction going on. Hoping everyone would spend their big wads of cash at REA.
I placed early bids, i think 10 days ago. Well, i also noticed some things 'trimmed' but it said it in the description. I still love the card despite it and it shows very well..Defintely worth a re-bid.
BTW, i got my book in today in the mail.

Just an incredible auction, I just finished thumbing through it. I can already see I'm in big trouble being that my dream card is present. I'd better start scrambling immediately! :rolleyes:

On a side note, I'm not normally a bat hunter, but this one struck me as a beautiful piece. The patina gives it that little extra pop.

Again fantastic auction....

Heritage
 

I'd just like to give a huge thank you to Pete Calderon, and Heritage auctions. I emailed Pete to see if I can get a catalog of their current auction. He emailed me back and said he will see what he can do.

I arrived home today, and there was a FedEx next day package with 3 catalogs, and he also included a copy of the Feb 2014 Platinum auction.

Great auctions, will some of the best photography!

Thanks Pete.

Tony

Just love their scans and the ability to see a huge high definition image. Other auction companies should take notice. Haven't gotten my catalog yet, but my bids are placed.
Great job guys :)

Trimmed tebeau
 

What is the evidence that SGC missed that the Just So Tebeau is trimmed? I would assume SGC knows the dimensions.
