Strong prices were achieved by the significant offering of baseball cards, highlighted by the most famous baseball card in the world, the iconic T206 Honus Wagner PSA 1 PR-FR, which brought $132,000 (lot 19, est. $90/120,000), a record for a PSA 1 card, and one of only two known graded PSA NM-MT “8” Babe Ruth rookie cards from 1915, which fetched $120,000 (lot 174, est. $100/125,000).
Other important baseball memorabilia highlights include Barry Bonds’ 700th home run baseball from the September 17, 2004 game in Pac Bell Park, which sold for $102,000 (lot 99, est. $100/200,000), Babe Ruth’s 1938 Brooklyn Dodgers Full Uniform, which fetched $192,000 (lot 339, est. $150/200,000) and Hall of Fame catcher Ernie Lombardi’s 1940 Cincinnati Reds World Series Ring brought $13,200 (lot 43, est. $10/15,000).
Highlighting the estate of tennis great Arthur Ashe was a pair of Haggar solid gold presentation trophy tennis balls, weighing 372 ounces, which brought $144,000 (lot 148, est. $150/200,000). Purchased by longtime fan John Raybin, a New York-based memorabilia dealer who met Ashe a number of times during his youth, the trophy tennis balls were awarded to Ashe by The World Championship Tennis Organization in 1975, the year he became the first and only African-American to have won the men’s singles at Wimbledon when he defeated Jimmy Connors.
Highlighting the offering from Hall of Fame sports journalist Jim Murray was the typewriter that he used to write over 10,000 columns for the Los Angeles Times from the early 1960s through the late 1990s, which brought $18,000 (lot 105, est. $4/6,000). Murray, who was one of only four sportswriters to win a Pulitzer Prize, was named “America’s Best Sportswriter” by the National Association of Sportscasters and Sportswriters 14 times.
