A Passion For Pottery: Crocker Farm To Sell
Carole Wahler Collection
Special Single-Owner Sale To Take Place Jan. 22 To 31
By Brandt Zipp
Crocker Farm Inc. will be selling the collection of Knoxville, Tenn., ceramics collector, Carole Carpenter Wahler, in an online auction running from Jan. 22 to 31. Featuring 300 lots of American stoneware and redware pottery, the sale is heavily focused on major 19th century potting centers of the South and will include representative pieces from Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia.
Wahler, a leading scholar on Tennessee pottery, spent 50 years studying Southern-made ceramics and amassing her impressive collection, which includes a number of iconic, published works. Much of what is known today about Tennessee stoneware and redware is thanks to Wahler. She was both a collector and an educator on the material. “Her astute eye for exceptional examples of Southern pottery is evidenced by this sale,” said Crocker Farm Inc. principal,
Anthony Zipp. Several of the sale’s highlights are masterworks from Tennessee, where Wahler lived most of her life. Among these is an outstanding salt-glazed stoneware face jug (est. $25,000-$40,000) marked by Cookeville, Tenn.,
Wahler’s first major redware purchase was this jar, attributed to the Cain Pottery of Sullivan County, Tenn., ca. 1830-80, (est. $6,000-$10,000), acquired from Don Walters in 1980.
“The Hon. Frederick Dougless” stoneware face jug by John A. Roberts, Cookeville, Tenn, ca. 1895, (est. $25,000-$40,000) is arguably the most historically significant American face vessel known.
John Floyd’s masterpiece stoneware water cooler from Knox County, Tenn., dated 1857, (est. $20,000-$30,000) shows Manhattan influence in its delicate incised design.
Made ca. 1852-62, this extremely rare marked redware jar by John Alexander Lowe of Greene County, Tenn., (est. $25,000-$40,000) set a world auction record for Tennessee pottery in 2008.
potter John A. Roberts. Featuring the highly important inscription, “The Hon. Frederick Dougless,” on the reverse, the jug was likely made to commemorate abolitionist Frederick Douglass upon his death in 1895. Mark Zipp, partner at Crocker Farm Inc., notes, “The sculptural quality, condition, and large signature make this one of the best Tennessee pottery face vessels known, but the inscription for Douglass places it on an extraordinary level of historical significance.”
Another Tennessee highlight is an extremely rare stoneware water cooler with incised floral motif (est. $20,000-$30,000), inscribed, “Made by Jn Floyd / June 30 1857 / Knox Couty Tenn.” Its decoration was inspired by earlier Manhattan motifs, suggesting Floyd, who was born in Virginia, had spent part of his life working with a

Depending on who you ask, you will receive a different definition of what the word “antique” means. The term represents something unique to everyone. For most people, decorating is more than transforming an empty space into a living space. Most of us create a mix that is personally done using some inherited, sometimes even “antique” objects and also big-box store objects. Many people even

Gerry Williams: Influential New Hampshire Studio
Potter, Part Two
By Rick Russack
How does one decide to be a potter? After WWII, the G.I. bill and university art classes made it simpler for those interested to learn the skills of being a potter, and the universe of studio potters grew exponentially. Many made pottery a career and earned their living from it, others became teachers themselves. Many went on to other careers but continued to make pottery as a “sideline.” But, Gerry Williams
(1926-2014) did not attend a university art class. In his 1978 oral interview with the Smithsonian, Williams said, “The decision to be a potter came quite intuitively one day. I was reading a small book called, I think, ‘How to Support Yourself With a Small Business,’ or something like that. And there was a short paragraph that just leaped out of the page at me. It described a rather bucolic existence of a young potter in the Southern Highlands somewhere, and how he made pots, and so
forth. And from that moment on I was a potter, even though I had not seen any pottery, except in India.” Deciding on one’s life work can be that simple.
Friends suggested that he check out New Hampshire, primarily because of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, based in Concord, and he arrived in 1950. The League was offering pottery
making classes at the time, and Williams talked himself into a job as a stock boy, sweeping floors and making deliveries. He was earning $15 a week and was able to attend the group’s pottery classes, taught by well-respected potters Viveca Heino and Richard Moll. The 14 retail stores operated by the League throughout New Hampshire provided a way for Williams and other

Williams appears to have referred to vases like this as “effigies” (not to be confused with the political effigies). Surviving invoices show that he sold several through the galleries handling his work. Both vases and bowls were made, and some pieces retailed for as much as $95 in the mid-1960s.

League members to sell their work and earn a living.
He spent the next 50 years as a working potter in Dunbarton, N.H., beginning in the early 1950s. Most, but not all, of his production was utilitarian, meant to be used daily in the home, and much of it was sold directly to consumers through a sales area in his studio. He eventually participated in exhibitions, exposing his work widely, both in this country and overseas, and his pottery was sold in numerous stores and galleries.
Williams’ first workplace was a rented milk room in a barn near Concord. In the late 1950s, he moved to a home and studio in Dunbarton, not far from Concord. From the very beginning, Williams considered himself to be a maker of functional wares meant to be used in homes: dishes, bowls, casseroles, etc. Later in life, he would make several complex groups. He called them effigies, reflecting his opinions of the events of his time and the pacifist beliefs he had acquired growing up in India to Christian missionary parents and exposed to the teachings of Mahatma Ghandi. One was titled “On A Grassy Knoll” referring to the assassination of President
Kennedy. Another depicted his vision of the Nixon Watergate scandal, and another concerned the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Aside from these groups, usually with multiple figures, he made very few figural
Some unglazed pieces were decorated with incised designs. Some will be found marked with an underlined uppercase “W.” That mark was used by Jamie Weiss, who was an apprentice in the early 1970s.
pieces. Most of the political effigies remain in the family collection. Very few, if any, were ever sold. These have been exhibited from time to time. The catalog for a 2015 exhibit, “Effigies in Clay,” at the Hamilton Gallery, Salve Regina University in Newport, R.I., includes color photographs of several. His original descriptions of the stories he was telling with these groups survive.
The year 1972 was a pivotal one for Williams. In that year, his studio in Dunbarton burned to the ground and was a complete loss. An indication of his friendship with the numerous potters in New Hampshire, and their respect for him, is the fact that his many friends came together and rebuilt his studio in two weeks. He was back in business and referred to the rebuilding as a phoenix having risen from the flames. It also gave birth to the Phoenix workshops, which became an annual event. Potters from all over gathered to learn from him, one another, and the many prominent potters who would teach over the years. Many attendees camped on the studio grounds, and Williams’ wife, Julie, prepared the food for all. Some of the pottery Williams produced at this time was marked with an impressed phoenix.
It was also in 1972 that Williams and his wife, Julie, began to publish “Studio Potter” magazine. It was devoted to the interests of working potters, sometimes with articles on aspects of kiln building or the experimentation on glazes taking place by other potters. Many of the articles were written by prominent potters.

Having never been there before, our family shifted into antique hunter mode, looking for the specific things that each of us collects. Kim hunts for jewelry. Jane and Mary hunt for Moderne design, and I look at furniture and Native American. The mall was pretty dusty, and the price tags reflected the good old days of the 1990s and early 2000s when $325, $425 and $525 were the favorite numbers for everything. What it told us is that things did not seem to be moving.
What struck me and prompted this column was when I spotted a southwestern weaving from the Ortega workshops in Chimayo, N.M. Nice piece, not great, but not bad. I picked it up off the metal rack where it sat alone and could not find a price. I was going to inquire

about it (since often tags fall off over time) when I looked down onto the rack and saw “INDIAN WEAVING NFS.” What the heck?!
Not only was the item not for sale, but the seller had literally put a tag on the rack in their booth saying NFS. So a metal rack in the middle of a booth with no price tag was holding a weaving with a “not-for-sale” tag on it.
I was irked and wandered down the aisle only to see a relatively nice and early framed map of New Jersey. It had some water damage and was less than perfect but it was pre-1850 and not cut from an Atlas so it deserved a second look. Different dealer, I think, but it too bore a large paper label saying NFS.
It took me about 15 seconds to grab the family, and we walked out the door. Folks,
understanding of the issues that were universally important to potters and these concerns were addressed in various issues of “Studio Potter.” Undoubtedly, the work of the potters he visited in various parts of the country inspired him to experiment in his own work. He freely shared the results of his experimenting. His interactions with other potters provided insight into the concerns that all potters had and influenced the
an antiques shop is where you go to buy antiques. Museums are where you look at things. It ain’t rocket science!
In case you have not figured it out yet, I am dogmatically negative about NFS tags in an antique shop. I have heard of dealers who use them while they are “researching” the item. Items to be researched need to live under the counter or at home, not out in your booth where you hope someone makes you an outrageous offer.
Let me be clear with my beef that I do understand NFS on display furniture that is used by a dealer to house items that are being sold. Dealers need stuff to put things on top of in a booth. I get that. It’s when the items are hanging on the walls or sitting out on a metal rack

glaze formulas and kiln firing techniques. He worked with both stoneware and porcelain, which allowed him to achieve a variety of colors and textures in his work. He was particularly desirous of being able to duplicate the rich, red glaze used on early Chinese pottery. He learned that management of the firing process was instrumental in achieving the results he was seeking. He succeeded with this “copper red” glaze but used it sparingly. He
also incised designs into the surface of pots, carved through one layer of glaze to expose the contrasting color beneath it, and tried numerous other decorative techniques. One of the challenges for a collector is to find as many variations as possible. The illustrations, from the author’s collection, that accompany this article were chosen to demonstrate some of this variety. What other variations exist, and for certain there are more, remain to be seen.
One of the most difficult glazes for mid-century potters to achieve was true red. Several wanted to imitate the reds on Song dynasty Chinese porcelains, known as “copper reds.” Williams experimented for a long time, finally mastering the proper kiln techniques necessary. The shades varied slightly in color.
Perhaps Gerry Williams’ favorite glaze was tenmoku, which was often decorated with a variety of wax resist designs. Background colors can be reddish-brown or blue. Tenmoku was an iron oxide glaze, fired at high temperatures, used by a number of potters.
This head, or “mask” is unsigned but is clearly almost the same as one he included in the 1999 exhibit at the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, shortly after he had been named New Hampshire’s first Artist Laurate by the state’s governor. Williams labeled that one “Studio Potter.” Both are “slab” contracted, and that technique can clearly be seen in this photo.
A few pieces are marked only with an impressed, spreadwinged phoenix.

Autumn Gold Auction Featured
4,300-Plus Lots
Massive
Variety Sale Included Gold, Minerals, Numismatics, Fine Art, Political Memorabilia, Jewelry, Tokens, Medals, And Postcards
By Karl Pass
The historic Branch Mint Troemmer special bullion balance scale used from 1870-93 sold for $60,250 to take overall top lot honors at the massive, seven-day Autumn Gold Auction held Nov. 21 to 27 by Holabird Western Americana Collections LLC, online and live in its Reno, Nev., gallery. Over 4,300 lots in many categories came under the gavel.
The 31-inch-tall special bullion balance scale was built into a waist-high table for ease of use at the Carson City Branch Mint. The set, which came with two framed signs, was on display at the Nugget Casino in Nevada for about 70 years. It was the most important numismatic artifact to surface in decades and surpassed its $50,000 pre-sale high estimate, to the surprise of no one. A special recap of this historical item, which was purchased by the Nevada State Museum (today housed in the old Mint building), appeared in the Dec. 20 issue of Antiques & Auction News (Vol. 54, No. 51).
The auction featured a broad selection of unique items and rare collectibles that included numismatics, gold, minerals, fine art, antique furniture, political memorabilia, philatelic, jewelry, toys,
tokens, medals and more. It was a hybrid sale of sorts. The first four days were held online and live in Holabird’s gallery. The last three days were an online-only, automated timed auction.
“This was one of our largest auctions to date,” said Fred Holabird, the president and owner of Holabird Western Americana Collections. As for what was up for bid, Holabird said there was “just about everything imaginable. You name it, we probably had it in one form or another.”
All prices quoted include an 18-percent buyer’s premium. Internet bidding was facilitated by iCollector.com, Invaluable.com, Auctionzip. com and LiveAuctionbeers. com.

Rare Wedgwood Plate From Catherine
The Great’s Green Frog Service And An 18th-Century Print Depicting Its Central Design Motif Acquired
A rare pair of related 18th-century objects were recently acquired by The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation: a creamware plate, made by Josiah Wedgwood as part of a service commissioned by Catherine the Great to be used at her castle, La Grenouillére or Kekerekeksinen (Frog Marsh) and a fine copy of a print engraved by FranÇois Vivares after work by Thomas Smith. The print depicts Dunnington Cliff on the River Trent in England, which is the motif seen in the center of the plate. By adding the plate to its ceramics collection, the foundation becomes one of the few American institutions to own a surviving piece from this famous dinner service.
“Colonial Williamsburg’s collection of British-made ceramics is one of the finest in the United States,” said Ronald Hurst, the foundation’s senior vice president and chief mission officer. “The acquisition of this plate and its printed design source brings new prominence to the collection. We are deeply grateful to the Friends of Colonial Williamsburg Collections for funding both purchases.”
Royal patronage within England and abroad helped Josiah Wedgwood secure a well-respected reputation as a manufacturer of ceramics for all levels of society. Catherine the Great of Russia was a patroness who commissioned two dinner services from his firm; the Frog Marsh service was the second. It encompassed an astounding 952 pieces, each of which was handpainted in monochrome with distinct views of England and bore a splayed frog within a shield to signify the name of the palace for which it was made. To this day, the service remains the most ambitious endeavor by a British ceramics manufacturer. It was more than a mere dinner service; it was a

symbol of British diplomacy and shared with the larger world all that England could offer from ancient architectural ruins to imposing country homes in bucolic landscapes to industrial achievements, such as the view of Dunnington Cliff on the River Trent shown on this plate. It also symbolizes the importance of the Baltic region in British and
American trade in the 18th and early 19th centuries as well as the production of ceramics through the plate’s central image.
“This plate will be very much at home alongside other important Wedgwood-made holdings already in Colonial Williamsburg’s ceramic collection, including a prized Portland vase and a piece from
the Husk service, the earlier service commissioned by Catherine the Great,” said Angelika R. Kuettner, Colonial Williamsburg’s curator of ceramics and glass. “This Green Frog service plate provides so many layers of interpretation for us. Other pieces from the service depicting grand houses are truly lovely, but this example allows us to talk about waterpower in the 18th century and ceramic production, not to mention Wedgwood’s industrial and entrepreneurial influence throughout the world.”
The plate’s molded rim is painted with a meandering oak leaf and acorn border interrupted by a shield enclosing a green painted splayed frog. The cavetto is painted with a neoclassical, scalloped border between concentric lines. The plate’s well is painted with a bucolic scene of a lock on a river, grazing cattle in the background, a sailing vessel on the meandering waterway, and a church spire painted faintly in the distance. The reverse bears a black enamel painted number “221” and an impressed circle.
Of the pieces in the original dinner service, the majority remain in Russia today and have been there since their delivery in the 18th century. A few pieces were not sent and were divided between Wedgwood’s Etruria manufactory and Alexander Baxter, who was the agent for the

New-York-trained potter. Purchased by Wahler in 1984 at Garth’s Auction in Delaware, Ohio, this elegantly potted work with original domed lid includes a lengthy exhibition and publication history.
Redware from the state is headlined by an extremely rare lead-and-manganese-glazed jar, stamped “J.A. LOWE,” for Greene County, Tenn., potter John Alexander Lowe. Made ca. 1852-62, the jar (est. $25,000$40,000) survives as one of a few intact, signed pieces known by this potter and set an auction record for a piece of Tennessee-made pottery at Case Auctions in 2008. The work of an associate of Lowe, Christopher Alexander Haun, will also be represented. Known as both a highly skilled potter and Civil War hero, Haun participated in the burning of a Confederate railroad bridge along Greene County’s Lick Creek in an act of solidarity with the Union. Captured and convicted of treason by Confederate forces, Haun was hung on Dec. 11, 1861, asking his wife in a moving letter shortly before his execution, “...have Bohanan, Hinshaw or Low to finish off that ware and do the best you can with it for your support.” A marked Haun jar with lead-and-manganese glaze (est. $5,000-$8,000) and an unmarked jar with copper glaze (est. $2,500-$4,000) are among his works to be sold. Also included are a number of cobalt-decorated stoneware pieces by the Decker family of Washington County, headlined by an oversized presentation ring jug, dated 1896 (est. $4,000-$8,000).
Among Wahler’s most famous pieces is a Union County, S.C., alkaline-glazed stoneware jug bearing the elaborate incised inscription, “Aug the 30 / 1864 / Maid an Sold at / A low price fore Confedrent / Money by me Thomas Ownbey.” She had acquired it at Harmer Rooke Galleries auction in 1992, when it was sold in part one of the collection of legendary stoneware authority Georgeanna Greer. The jug, now estimated at $20,000$40,000, was the top lot of that auction, drawing interest for its humorous slogan and rare signature, ultimately selling for $18,150 including buyer’s premium.
Also from South Carolina is an alkaline-glazed stoneware face harvest jug made in Edgefield, dating to the third quarter of the 19th century. Acquired by Wahler in 1987, the jug (est. $25,000$40,000) is noteworthy for its
large size and unusual harvest or monkey jug form with rear-facing spout. Also from Edgefield is a very rare alkaline-glazed stoneware jug (est. $8,000-$12,000), attributed to enslaved African-American potter David Drake. Incised “17th october 1836,” it dates to an earlier period in Drake’s body of work when he was still active at Pottersville, the site where he likely learned to pot. Other Edgefield highlights include an alkaline-glazed stoneware pitcher and jar with two-color slip floral decorations, attributed to Phoenix Factory, ca. 1840 (est. $8,000$12,000 and $5,000-$7,000).
Wahler’s interest in Alabama stoneware is shown in a diverse array of pieces from the state’s various potting schools. Leading this group is a large alkaline-glazed face vessel in the form of a man’s torso (est. $20,000-$30,000), made ca. 1850-80. Surviving in remarkable condition and previously owned by collectors Tony Shank and Pria Harmon, this figural piece is hailed as one of the finest face-decorated pieces known from the state. Other alkaline-glazed pieces include several featuring distinctive sine wave incising as well as an outstanding open-handled jar with lid and profuse impressed decoration (est. $4,000-$6,000). A rare, ca. 1830 alkaline-glazed stoneware jug bearing the mark of Tuscaloosa pottery owner Daniel Cribbs (est. $3,000-$5,000) and a ca. 1900 salt-glazed pitcher with profuse incised decoration by C.T. Brown of Rock Mills (est. $4,000-$6,000) will also be sold.
North Carolina pottery is headlined by a 15-gallon alkaline-glazed stoneware jar by Vale, N.C., potter Daniel Seagle, ca. 1840. Due to its massive size, the vessel was made with four handles, one of which bears Seagle’s impressed initials. Estimated at $8,000$12,000, the jar is illustrated in Cynthia Rubin’s well-known 1985 book, “Southern Folk Art.” Also from the state are an extremely rare lead-andmanganese-glazed redware jar from Guilford or Randolph County, signed “Henry Watkins / 1852” (est. $5,000-$8,000), and a mid 19th-century Alamance County redware sugar jar (est. $2,000-$4,000).
Highlights from other states include a late 18th or early 19th century Pennsylvania redware charger with inscription (est. $5,000$8,000); a ca. 1900 Georgia stoneware face jug (est. $2,500-$4,000), which is attributed to William Hewell of White County and illustrated in John Burrison’s
features unusual four-colored slip.
book, “Brothers in Clay”; and a Virginia (now West Virginia) stoneware jug with incised Federal eagle motif, marked “WHEELING POTTERY” (est. $5,000-$8,000). Anthony Zipp continues, “Wahler’s collection has had few rivals. For those interested in Southern pottery, this auction is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, a sale not to be missed.” Full-color catalogs for this auction can be purchased on Crocker Farm’s website for $38.95 shipped. For more information, visit www.crockerfarm.com or call 410-472-2016.
Featuring a scarce size and form, Wahler’s Edgefield face jug (est. $25,000-$40,000), acquired by her in 1987, ranks among the finest Crocker Farm has ever offered.
Combining size, condition, and superb modeling, this Alabama stoneware face vessel, ca. 1850-80, is estimated at $20,000-$30,000.
Possibly the earliest example of West Virginia pottery depicting a Federal eagle, this circa 1817 jug (est. $5,000$8,000) bears the elusive stamp, “WHEELING POTTERY.”

In “Everyday Antiques: Inviting Homes Where Old Meets New,” author Katherine Sorrell shows how anyone on any budget can harmoniously combine unexpected things together in any living space. She outlines how some older pieces work well with certain new ones to make a home tastefully designed. This is done through growing and cultivating individual style. The
process involves flea market finds, shops, auctions, and online resources such as Etsy, eBay, and other online marketplaces. Some people even form a hobby out of it. Finding unusual pieces can be a fun way to create a unique space.

The view of Dunnington Cliff, located southeast of Derby, is significant as it was purchase. To date, there are 26 extant pieces known that were not delivered to Catherine the Great because, as Wedgwood noted, they were either duplicates or considered by Wedgwood not up to his high standard of quality. Of those, 17 are in museum
the site of King’s Mills, Britain’s largest water-powered manufacturing area in the mid-18th century and home to numerous mills associated with a variety of manufacturers, including flint grinding for the ceramic industry, paper making, iron forging and flour production. The representation of Dunnington Cliff on the plate comes from a 1745 print, View of Dunnington Cliff on the River Trent engraved by Fran Ç ois Vivares after the painting on the subject by Thomas Smith. The opportunity for the foundation to acquire both the source print with the handpainted ceramic plate from the Frog Marsh service is significant.
“Together they tell an incredible story.
Prints like this one were imported in the 18th century from England to decorate the walls of Virginia houses and also served as inspiration for an important dinner service used in a Russian Palace. Being able to show a printed design source alongside the ceramic plate helps us draw connections between mediums within the decorative arts,” said Katie McKinney, Margaret Beck Pritchard Curator of Maps & Prints. As seen in the image, the lock at the center of the plate shows the same lock in the print. While the artists painting the plate adapted the print to their circular canvas, they maintained accuracy with great precision to even include the wispy clouds and a church spire seen faintly in the background.

Case Of 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee Hockey Cards Scores $2.52 Million
Sealed Boxes Possibly Contain Edmonton Oilers Wayne Gretzky Rookie Card Or Cards
After spending some extra time on ice, a case of 16 sealed and unopened boxes of the 1979-80 O-Pee-Chee hockey cards returned to the auction block to lead Heritage’s $23.77 million Winter Sports Catalog Auction held Dec. 5 to 7. And, as expected, it once again scored a record win, realizing $2.52 million to become the most valuable wax case ever sold at auction, because its checklist includes a teenaged Edmonton Oilers rookie named Wayne Gretzky.
The case’s consignor, who hails from the Western Canadian province of Saskatchewan, was a rabid

collector in the 1960s and ‘70s who snatched up countless amounts of Canadian-made cards to trade with fellow travelers in the United States. He bought endless boxes and cases of cards, so many his family long ago lost count, and lost track. Ultimately, the consignor’s son found this case behind “stacks and stacks of other stuff,” says Heritage Sports Card Specialist and Consignment Director Jason Simonds. Baseball Card Exchange’s founder, Steve Hart, authenticated the case as the only known example.
In February, the case made headlines when it first sold, and the winning bidder went to the media claiming he was no longer “passionate” about his purchase. When he ultimately failed to pay for the case, Heritage discussed the situation with the consignor and decided to re-offer the case to collectors in this auction.
The belief remains that this is the only known case of 1979 O-Pee-Chee Hockey cards with, possibly, more than two dozen Gretzky rookie cards inside the 768 packs spread across the 16 boxes.
“This 1979-80 O-PeeChee case remains a true one-of-one, and its sale both underscores the value of sports cards and collectibles and stands as a remarkable testament to these singular treasures,”
says Chris Ivy, director of Sports Auctions. “Achieving a record price is always an extraordinary moment, and it brings immense joy to the Heritage team and, more importantly, the family.”
Of course, given the auction’s total and the number of worldwide bidders, nearly 3,500, there were bound to be numerous other records set. Chief among them were the following: one of the two 1915 Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe Jackson cards graded SGC Mint 9 (with none higher), which realized
This is considered the world’s finest example of the 1933 World Wide Gum Babe Ruth card, graded PSA NM-MT 8. It hails from a limited-run Canadian iteration of the beloved Goudey set, which stands among the rarest Ruths, and sold for $360,000.
$504,000 to set a record for the card and tie the record for any 1915 Cracker Jack card. It’s also the third-most valuable Jackson card ever sold at auction.
Ruths, and sold for $360,000.
It was quite the prize inside this auction, as the baseball cards produced by Cracker Jack in 1914 and 1915 are among the most beautiful and identifiable baseball cards ever made and, more than a century after their debut, among the rarest. Collectors and historians have also hailed it as a work of art.
One of a dozen 1949 Bowman Jackie Robinsons graded PSA Mint 9 is so beautiful and beloved that it has been endlessly turned into paintings and posters. It realized $432,000, the highest price ever paid for that card at Heritage and the second highest ever realized at auction for this historic treasure.
This auction was filled with cardboard masterworks, among them the world’s sole finest example of the 1933 World Wide Gum Babe Ruth card, graded PSA NM-MT 8. It hails from a limited-run Canadian iteration of the beloved Goudey set, stands among the rarest
But the auction’s real Atomic Leg Drop came courtesy of who else? Hulk Hogan. His 1982 Wrestling All-Stars card graded PSA Mint 9 realized $132,000, a new record for that card and any wrestling card.
Game-worn jerseys and game-used bats also scored significant results during this three-day event, led by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’

game-worn jersey from a five-touchdown game in 2021, which realized $192,000. And some lumber used by Ted Williams during his Triple Crown season of 1947 sold for $144,000. There were numerous other six-figure results, of course, befitting the significance of the players, the cards’ makers and the cardboard’s condition. But, perhaps, some of the auction’s most intriguing results could be found further down the list, such as the $33,600 paid for the only PSA Gem Mint 10 Dave Roberts card from the 1975 Topps collection set.
This bat was used by Ted Williams during his Triple Crown season in 1947 and sold for $144,000.
“After the close of each auction, it’s always interesting to see what drove the results,” says Executive Vice President Joe Orlando. “In this case, I don’t think there is any question that serious collectors, specifically set builders, came out in full force. There were many strong prices for high-grade and low-population T206s and many surprising prices for 1960s and 1970s cards, both stars and commons, in each major sport.”

Auto Mania in Allentown for its guests is like Christmas morning to kids around the world. The excitement level is through the roof, and the endless automotive parts shopping options are what bring thousands from the Midwest, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic regions. In addition to the automotive options, there is something extra special right next door. For two of the three event dates, there is a farmer’s market under the main grandstand of the fairgrounds. This market runs Friday and Saturday of the show and has as much variety food-wise as Auto Mania does car parts. Just like there is something for everyone within the Agri-Plex, there is a wide array of fares offered by local and regional farmers, including baked goods.
All new for 2025, area Lions Club members will be at the event each day to collect money to support various causes they support. At least two Lions will be positioned near a main entry point for upwards of three hours each day. It’s also a great opportunity for Lions to mix and mingle with guests and raise awareness for what they do.
Spanning nearly three full days, Auto Mania has entertained and assisted motorheads for decades, offering some indoor solace from the otherwise dark and chilly winter months. The venue is situated near I-78, I-95, US-22, and I-476.
Select vendor spots are still available and sellers of all types are welcome, including large businesses, small businesses, mom-and-pop shops, and individuals. There are also space options for classic and collector cars, trucks, including snowmobiles, tractors, plows, boats, etc.
