Hall of Fame Signed Baseballs Certified signed baseballs form the backbone of this auction, with more than three dozen lots spanning some of the most celebrated names in the game. Among the highlights: a baseball signed by Pete Rose, Steve Carlton, and Mike Schmidt — three icons of the Phillies franchise, all authenticated by SGC — and a "Bash Brothers" pair featuring individual signed balls from Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco, certified by JSA. Additional signed ball offerings include Reggie Jackson, Barry Bonds (represented across four lots), Tom Seaver, Don Mattingly, Wade Boggs, Johnny Damon, and Will Clark's 1984 Olympic edition baseball with red and blue stitching. Cal Ripken Jr. appears across eleven lots in the sale — signed baseballs, a signed #8 ball and book pairing, program and scorecard groupings, and a limited-edition stained glass card — making him one of the most thoroughly represented subjects of the auction. The Ripken family is further represented by the famous 1989 Bill Ripken #616 "Obscenity on Bat" error card, offered in two formats: a CGC-graded pair (both 8.5) featuring the error and its black scribble correction, and a separate lot pairing the error with its alternate variation. Authentication credentials across the signed ball lots include JSA, Beckett, SGC, and Upper Deck Authentication. Graded Cards Across Eras and Sports The graded card offerings are among the most diverse in the auction, touching baseball, basketball, and football. Key lots include a 1975 George Brett #228 graded CGC 7, a 1984 Kirby Puckett #U-93 Fleer Update graded CGC 7, and a five-card Michael Jordan graded basketball collection spanning 1991–1994, with individual grades ranging from 8 to 9. Football collectors will find graded lots featuring NFL legends from the early 1990s, including an Emmitt Smith graded cards collection
