Huggins & Scott Auctions--Bidding Open! Closing Thursday 2/8/18

For a post war set collector, this is a dream auction! Great Football and Basketball as well.

I showed my wife the number of lots that I had bids on and I had my life threatened. Luckily, they are placeholders for the most part as I see where the value will be as we get closer to the end.

Probably my favorite AH - at least top 3
Thanks

Thanks Leon! Just a reminder that initial bids need to be in by 10:00pm Eastern. Good luck!

I've got a bid in. Hoping I either don't get outbid at all or get outbid before 10:00 pm so I can chase something else. Great items!

Well, this one was interesting. I think it finally closed 3 hours after extending bidding started. With a 30 minute timer, small 100.00 increments, and two bidders using the same strategy, it provided hours of nail biting auction excitement!!!

super thrilled to have picked up another Perkins Studio Cabinet of an Orioles player. This one was recently sold as part of a three Cabinet lot in the most recent REA Auction. It was not pictured in the catalog or online...I'm glad I was able to get it the second time around via the most recent H&S Auction.

I was looking at images of Baltimore players from 1892 to about 1898. I am pretty sure this is Joe Corbett (brother of heavyweight boxing champ James Corbett) who played for the Orioles from 1896-97, including a stellar Temple Cup performance in 1896 against the Cleveland Spiders.

Anyone else think this is Corbett? The best photo I could find is the attached small image from SABR, which is from his 1898-99 National Copper Plate issue.
