Always so exciting to get the digital auction preview catalogue from LOTG. I think there's is the best in the business. While it's not news to anyone how great LOTG is, I thought people could share some of their personal favorite items from the auction, or other auctions this summer. Disclosure: I haven't consigned any of the ones below (although I did consign some other items).
1) 1923-24
Tomas Gutierrez Oscar Charleston Rookie. I believe less than 10 of these have been graded by PSA and SGC combined, with only 1 higher by SGC.
2)
1878 Buffalo Bisons team card with Pud Galvin. What a great piece of history, nearly 150 years old.
3)
Ticket stub from September 24, 1919, the day Babe Ruth broke Ned Williamson's record for HRs in a season with 28. While I don't think people were necessarily aware of the history being made on that day, it was sort of the start of Ruths' many records to come.
4) A great
picture of the 1915 Red Sox during Ruth's second year. He is standing very visible in the top right (sorry for the blurry screenshots).
Do other people have standouts from the LOTG, REA, Huggins Scott or other auctions this summer?
