Memory Lane auction ends this week
Posted by Steve
This is the final week to bid on Memory Lane's auction, which features the only
Gem Mint-graded 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig in existence
and ends Sept. 15. The card is graded PSA 10 and is from the collection of Charles Merkel. The current bid is $91,000.
There’s also a
1952 Topps Andy Pafko Black Back graded PSA 8
. Since the card is No. 1 in the set, it’s one of the most notoriously tough cards to get in high-grade condition. This one is already up to $44,000.
Next, a
Hank Aaron game-used bat
that was used to hit his No. 704 home run carried a minimum bid of $5,000. The bat is a Louisville Slugger model A99 and is graded A 9.5 by MEARS, with heavy usage with ball marks and stitch marks “deeply embedded.”
Also, a
1933 baseball with nine signatures, including Babe Ruth
, Gehrig, Al Simmons, Joe Cronin, Jimmie Foxx, Ed Rommel and Jimmie Dykes is up to $5,500. The ball is an official American League Harridge ball with PSA/DNA and JSA authentication.
One extremely unique item is an uncut sheet of
1969 Topps Baseball cards with a White-Letter Mickey Mantle
near the center of the sheet. The sheet has 132 total cards is at $5,000.
There’s also two killer Yankees team payroll checks, with
one signed by Gehrig
and the
other by Ruth
. Both are from 1930 and also signed by Jake Ruppert and Ed Barrow. The Gehrig is already up to $15,000 and the Ruth is at $13,000. Visit
