Uncle Jimmy Auction #2 is open for bidding and ends July 12th! https://www.wheatlandauctionservices.com/catalog.aspx
Lots # 1 through 600 are all from the Uncle Jimmy Collection.
We like to thank the many media outlets for helping to get the story of the person behind “The Uncle Jimmy Collection” out to into the public. “Uncle Jimmy” was a blue-collar worker who loved baseball until the day he passed away earlier this year. He never paid more than $1.25 for a baseball card and would never pay for an autograph from a player or former player. Helping the family sort, organize and grade the collection has been an honor, and rekindled the reasons I enjoyed the game of baseball and got into collecting! Uncle Jimmy was there for special Babe Ruth games at Yankee stadium, supported Jackie Robinson in his rookie year at Dodgers games, watched rookies named Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays hit their first home runs. I’d also like to thank PSA for putting “Uncle Jimmy Collection” on the flips on the autographed cards – what a great way to memorialize an amazing collection from an amazing collector.
