Official Uncle Jimmy Collection Info - One of the Rarest Unknown Card Collections
We are pleased to provide updated information to card collectors about the "Uncle Jimmy" Collection. https://www.sportscollectorsdaily.co...rd-collection/
The collection originated from “Uncle Jimmy”, who recently passed away at the age of 97 years old, leaving his family with a house-full of baseball cards, autographs, and photos collected from the 1930s through 2020. The first items to be graded and authenticated by PSA/DNA included 6 Babe Ruth autographed 1933 Goudey baseball cards in beautiful condition. These exceptional baseball treasures were found in a binder in Uncle Jimmy’s attic along with hundreds of other signed 1933 and 1934 Goudey cards, including Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, and dozens of other hall of famers. Additionally, hundreds of other autographed cards and news clippings, including high-quality condition hall of famers from the 1930s through 1960s were discovered, along with pack-fresh vintage baseball card sets. As it turned out, this was only the beginning. One family member indicated “Uncle Jimmy spent most days of his life collecting cards and writing to players and teams. Most of my memories of Uncle Jimmy involved him discussing baseball and his love of his hobby.”

It looks like at least one of those Ruths was sold via a private sale/transaction. Hint: see the May pick-ups thread.
Incredible story!

None of the Uncle Jimmy cards that I am posting have ever sold. They are all fresh to the market and freshly graded in the past month! Here is the 1934 Butterfinger Ruth with a perfect 10 autograph grade. This is only the second signed Ruth Butterfinger to come to market (that I could find). This "Uncle Jimmy" Perfect 10 Ruth Butterfinger is currently at auction ending on May 17th: https://www.wheatlandauctionservices...-LOT14536.aspx
