More than 2,200 lots make Heritage Sports’ Fall Card Catalog Auction largest in company history

After recording hundreds of world-record prices in its September auction of the PSA all-time finest 1909-11 T206 set, Heritage will present a sequel in the form of its largest trading card auction to date as more than 2,200 lots will close in Extended Bidding format on Nov. 15-16.

“The massive prices in the T206 sale inspired a tidal wave of consignments to this sale,” said Chris Ivy, director of Sports Auctions at Heritage. “The result is the largest and most diverse trading card auction of 2018.”

The Dead Ball Era comes to life with more than 100 19th-century lots, including a recently discovered collection of N172 Old Judge cards, multiple N690 Kalamazoo Bats, an N403 Yum Yum Tim Keefe (est. $10,000-up), and a pair of N142 Duke Cabinets.
