Historical Hockey Memorabilia Auction Winter 2022

Baseball immortals Ernie Banks and Willie Mays star here, with Banks’ second-year Topps card receiving a mark of 5 EX from Canada’s KSA. Surface scuffs to card #28 are observed, along with some scratches/scuffs to the front of the holder. The start of the write-up on the back offers interesting information, reading, “Ernie never played a full season of organized baseball before taking over the regular Cubs shortstop position last year!” Meanwhile, one of the cartoons on the back of Willie Mays’ ’58 Topps issue tells of his record of hitting more than 20 doubles, triples and homers in one season - wow. Both examples of card #5 have been slabbed and graded 4 VGE by KSA, although one presents better than the other, the latter with scuffing/color loss on the front. We spot some warping in the superior-looking entry, with the holders free of unsightly flaws.
