August 2024 Heritage Auction

[cmoore330]

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...

Agreed some amazing items already

I think we need to take A net54 collection to bid big

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)!

It looks like it’ll be a fun auction, and it’ll be my first time consigning a card! I sent in the last DiMaggio card from his playing days, as he announced his retirement during the Japan tour.

[petecld]

I know everyone loves rookie cards but I m different. I love the last cards of players. Thank you "JJbond" for consigning that card. It was fun finding out about the 1951 All-Star tour and I had no idea DiMaggio announced his retirement after the tour.

Yes, the jerseys we have is incredible but there are a lot of great cards. Matty and Wagner E107s, a run of Ruth cards including E121, E122, W575-1 and W575-2, 1928 Sweetman and a signed 1933 Goudey. Not to mention a nice selection of rare T206s...

Good Luck.

I'm assuming these items will be on display at the National? I'm already planning on attending, but seeing some of these items in person would be an added bonus. Some unreal jerseys and cards

Looking forward to seeing these item at the National. I'll see you in Cleveland, Pete beer chug.gif

August Platinum is going to be huge. Of course the Ruth "called shot" jersey along with several other high profile jerseys. Also some more higher end cards from the pre war Ramsburg collection. I consulted on the Southside Bobby period autograph collection that will start to be sold in August. Looking forward to seeing the Ruth jersey at Nationals.

These are indeed awesome with the player’s total career stats. A signed version is even better!

I need to win the lottery!

Auction ended at 5:30!

$24.12 million.

[GaryPassamonte]

Six lots over $1 million so far. That must be a record for one auction?

[brunswickreeves]

According to Ace…

[Topnotchsy]

Prices have been interesting (to me anyways).

Surprised by how low the Frank Robinson 500 HR bat went for, though it reinforces how underrated he is. Robin Yount's 3000th hit bat sold not long ago for $100K more.

I thought $40K for the Musial jersey seemed like a great deal.

[mansco]

There are some great press pins available at the August Platinum Auction at Heritage!

[Bicem]

I'm sure it will pick up this week with the auction starting to end Friday, but overall prices seem pretty low on cards and photos (can't speak to anything else).
