Huggins and Scott, which last year sold a single-signed Christy Mathewson baseball for $161,000 and a rare Joe Jackson-Buck Weaver autographed baseball for $69,000, will offer over 1,400 consigned lots of vintage and modern sports cards and memorabilia in a two-day auction with bidding conducted by phone and Internet via the company’s Web site.

An exemplary list of unique, rare, and vintage baseball memorabilia highlights the auction with the second installment of the Dade Thieriot’s Philadelphia Phillies Collection. The auction begins with the “Matchless Ball,” the only known game-used baseball from the 1934 Major League Baseball All-Star Game that was signed by the American League team including Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
