Open for Bidding: Love of the Game's Summer Premier Auction
 

Hi Everyone:

I hope everyone is healthy and safe during this crazy time.

Just a quick note to let you know that the Love of the Game Summer 2020 Premier Auction is open for bidding. Closing date is August 29.

The auction has a host of interesting cards and memorabilia across all eras, but I thought I would point out some items that might be of particular interest to this group.

Lot #1 is a beautiful 1915-19 Babe Ruth Original Type 1 Photo that was used in the 1920 Draper & Maynard equipment catalog.

Lot #2 is a freshly-graded T210 Old Mill Casey Stengel (one of my favorite cards).

There's also a fantastic N403 Yum Yum Tobacco John Clarkson, an N173 Old Judge Cabinet Roger Connor, and a W600 Sporting Life Cabinet Christy Mathewson that you might find appealing.

For postwar collectors there's an interesting, fresh find of 1952 Topps high numbers that comes with a backstory - we're selling them card-by-card beginning with lot #12, the nicest "AUTHENTIC" '52 Mantle I've ever seen.

We've got tons of cards, including a large run of E135 Collins-McCarthys, a host of autographed items (including some great team-signed baseballs), and more memorabilia from the Ted Patterson collection.

Printed catalogs mail to active bidders next week.

One important note: For this auction, we moved our Double Overtime bidding up by one full hour. Instead of starting at 1AM Eastern, the Double Overtime period now begins at midnight, with all items not receiving a bid during Double OT closing at 1AM.

Barry is spot on. Love of The Game has quickly become one of the premier Auction Houses in offering fantastic memorabilia pieces.
All the best with the auction Al.

Good luck, Al!

Good luck, i hope to win a few.

Great looking stuff. Bids in.

Some great items, Saturday night should be fun.

Great auction Al. Love your accurate, straightforward, helpful lot descriptions. Good luck to everyone tonight.

Whoever got that WaJo portrait, sorry I ran you up but that was one hell of a photo. Enjoy!

It was a great auction, and very strong prices realized. I was very into the w600 Matty, but battled in heritage on the e107 Young, and once I bowed out of that, the W600 Matty was already above where I thought it was worth, so great result for the consignor!
