Wheatland Auctions, a prominent Pennsylvania-based auction house, has started off the new year with a bang by presenting an exciting and diverse range of sports collectibles. The auction, which consists of nearly 500 lots, is a remarkable assemblage of both vintage and modern cards, memorabilia, and sealed high-end football products from Panini.
At the center of this auction are twelve sealed cases of Panini’s high-end football products, which have caught the attention of modern sports card enthusiasts. These cases include rare and coveted editions such as the 2018 Prizm Hobby, 2020 Prizm Jumbo, 2021 Flawless, as well as multiple years of National Treasures, Contenders Optic, Immaculate, Select, and Panini One. These sealed cases represent some of the most sought-after items in the modern football card collecting world.
The auction also features an impressive array of vintage and modern cards. Notably, all four lower to mid-grade copies of the Babe Ruth cards from the iconic 1933 Goudey set are available, along with one of the highest SGC graded 1922 E121 American Caramel Ruth cards. Fans of vintage baseball memorabilia will also be drawn to the 1933 and 1934 Lou Gehrig cards, which add to the auction’s appeal.
Basketball memorabilia is also well-represented, with five Michael Jordan rookie cards and two Jordan rookie stickers among the lots. These items hold particular significance considering Jordan’s enduring legacy in the sport.
Additionally, collectors will find an SGC 10 1986-87 Fleer Isiah Thomas rookie card, 1926 W512 cards of Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb, and partial sets of 1933, 1934 Goudey, 1934-36 Batter Up, and 1934-36 Diamond Stars. Single Diamond Stars cards featuring legends like Mel Ott, Jimmie Foxx, Lefty Grove, and Hank Greenberg are also featured, showcasing the depth and variety of the collection.
The auction’s memorabilia section is equally impressive, offering collectors the chance to own unique and historic pieces. Included in this section are single signed baseballs from figures such as Pie Traynor, Frankie Frisch, Willie Mays, and Thurman Munson (on a Little League ball). A rare 1917 World Series Game 2 ticket is another highlight, providing collectors with a tangible piece of baseball history.
