A First for Satchel. Fresh from #PSAcard and headed to @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction, here's a ticket you don't see every day. This historic stub represents Paige's first MLB win in 1948, after years of excellence in the Negro Leagues. Coming to auction this summer.

@rhoge @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction Thanks Ryan.

@CollectingByJoe @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction Nice article Joe. I've always been a fan of the strong eye appeal, mid grade vintage card.

Card Quality. What is it, exactly? The vintage card market is slowly redefining what quality means, & it's no longer technical grade alone. In my latest article for @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction, I look at how cards continue to follow the path of art: intelligentcollector.com/redefining-qua…

Number 5 for Mr. 5 World Series Rings. Collecting Like it's 1999. Fresh from #PSAcard, this NM-MT 8, 1999 Skybox E-X Century/Essential Credentials Now #5/9 Derek Jeter is headed to @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction for our May event.

It will appear in our May catalog auction.

Exclusive Membership. On September 30, 1972, Roberto Clemente joined the 3,000 hit club. Tragically, it would be the last hit of the #Pirates icon's career, as he would perish in a plane crash later that year. This rare, Full ticket is headed to @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction.

Boom. Boom. If you want to see an example of electric eye appeal in a technically lower grade, this is it. From the collection of World Golf Hall of Famer Fred Couples, this #PSAcard Good + 2.5, 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle is off to the races @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction.

Beautiful Baylor. It's not likely to break the bank, but it's a cool card nonetheless of the #Lakers legend. Fresh from #PSAcard and headed to @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction, this signed 1969 Topps Elgin Baylor is one collectors don't see often.

A Ruth record last night! This 1915 Babe Ruth Type 1 photograph had been in the same family for over a century. Last night it found a new home for $585,600, an auction record for any Ruth photo, and the second highest price for a sports photograph

Underrated Alex. Alex English scored more points during the 1980s than any other NBA player. Think about that for a moment. This photo-matched and beautiful full uniform (1981-82) is currently @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction, and worth a serious look from basketball collectors.

The Home Stretch. Winter Platinum is in its final week @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction. In case you missed it, this #PSAcard certified Lou Gehrig ticket from his "Luckiest Man" speech on July 4, 1939 is absolutely stunning. The green & red colors complement the bold black type.

An incredible Ohtani gamer worn during the Dodgers glorious World Series 2025 season when Shohei set the franchise home run record It’s photomatched to the four-time MVP’s 30th homer of the season when Ohtani became the fastest Dodger to reach that mark sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-c…

Tape Measure. Mickey Mantle wore these pants when he hit the facade in 1963. The #Yankees legend says it's likely the hardest ball he ever hit. The jersey would be worth seven figures+, but the pants offer a more affordable alternative. Currently @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction.

Scintillating Cy. Fresh to the hobby & currently @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction. Some collectibles operate as tangible time capsules. Taken by renowned photographer Carl Horner of T206 hobby fame, and signed by Young himself, this #PSAcard Type I relic is simply spectacular.

Ohtani, MJ, Mickey and more. From Beverly Hills to NYC. Winter Platinum ⁦@Heritage_Sport⁩ ⁦@HeritageAuction⁩ is in full effect. Our reception was a blast last night in CA, and now we head to NY with our “traveling museum.” This is just a sampling.

Wonderful Wilt. With the signed vintage card market experiencing a surge, I thought I would share this "Stilt." Chamberlain auto'd cards don't appear very often, and this time he graced a towering 1969 Topps Tall Boy with his signature. Currently @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction.

A Burdick Bulletin Archive. In 2024, @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction began offering The Ramsburg Collection, which featured thousands of prewar cards. The family has now consigned issues 1-48 of Jefferson Burdick's historic publication. For the hardcore card collector/historian.

Number 3 for Sandy. Fresh from #PSAcard and headed to @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction, this EX 5, 1964 ticket stub from Koufax's third no-hitter should get plenty of attention from collectors. We sold an "authentic" example in October 2025 for $7,930. Where does this one end up?

Up Goes Frazier. The @Heritage_Sport @HeritageAuction Winter Platinum event is live. There are many incredible items in the auction, but one to keep an eye on is this beautiful 1971-72 Walt Frazier photo-matched #nyknicks Finals jersey. He is arguably the face of the franchise.
