August 2024 Heritage Auction

Did anyone else get the mailer stating that the upcoming August auction will be the biggest in the hobby since the Halper auction in 1999? (Their words, not mine.) Don’t know if that will be the case or not, but it sounds exciting to watch!

Yea, I received the same mailer promotion from Heritage.

I believe they have the Ruth jersey which they are saying is photomatched to the 'called shot' game valued at $30M. That alone would carry the auction if it gets near that. Looking forward to seeing what else is there of course.

Edit: Just checked and there are jerseys of Gehrig, Jackie Robinson, Jimmie Foxx and Willie Mays, along with a Ruth signed bat from 1921 and a Joe Jackson rookie bat, which they say is the only known bat from his in the league.

Wow...

Yes, should be one for the ages...as per my post in the Babe Ruth Called Shot Jersey thread...I've consigned my Mickey Mantle Game Used Bat (Triple Crown Era) to this auction (Heritage's August Platinum Sale).

As others have mentioned above, there's some really incredible pieces in the auction (Ruth Called Shot Jersey, Jackie Robinson Jersey, Gehrig Jersey, Ruth Bat, Shoeless Joe Bat, DiMaggio Jersey, etc, etc). I'm honored. Will be exciting!

I once owned a Mantle bat that had been made into a table leg. I knew it when I bought it and thought it wouldn't bother me, but it did. I ended up selling it and upgrading to a Mantle gamer that hadn't been made into furniture.

Good luck with the auction!

Not sure I would be quoting Halper IRT to an auction.

Yes, there will be some incredible jerseys and bats in the auction but don't for get cards.

There will be E107 Breisch Williams cards of Christy Mathewson and Honus Wagner. plus some very rare T206 White Borders including a Broad Leaf George Moriarty! Just graded recently, it is the first so far, the only one graded by PSA! Plus, all new to the hobby T206s of Spike Shannon and Jake Pfiester/Seated both with Carolina Brights backs, Tommy Leach/Fielding with a Uzit back (Only six are noted on the PSA census) and a Josh Clarke with a Drum back (Only three have been graded by PSA)!
