  • Mar10-Auction-Day-1.Pdf
    To My Fellow Hobbyists, 2010. Sounds almost like the title of a comic book I read as a kid. As we embark on a new decade, our entire staff at Huggins and Scott is looking forward to working with all of you to make this hobby we all love more enjoyable for everyone. With 2009 behind us, our plans for the upcoming year include a few changes requested by many of our bidders and consignors. First we are planning to run 5 auctions in 2010. They will end on the last Wednesday and Thursday of every odd month. Our May and September auctions will be a new format with many items that will sell in the $200-$500 range. Our March, July and November auctions will focus more on larger lots. For 2009 we tried a new style buyers premium scale for our 4 auctions. After reviewing all the feedback and results, we have decided this idea may have been ahead of its time, so for now we are returning to the industry standard of one buyers premium for all items--not to say we would be opposed to revisiting this concept in the future. Finally, with the National Convention in our hometown this year, we are planning several special promotions around the show for all our clients. Make sure you put the National in Baltimore on your schedule this summer, and we hope to meet and greet many of you at the show. With all that said once again our dedicated team has outdone itself in assembling this fantastic array of rare, unusual and even one-of-a-kind items.

  • George Weiss Was Named Farm Director of the Yankees
    National Baseball Hall of Fame Library George M. Weiss Scrapbooks, 1914-1971. BA SCR 61 v. 1-38 Abstract The George M. Weiss scrapbooks are comprised of 38 chronologically-arranged scrapbooks detailing the career of Weiss as well as a history of the teams that he ran. The first baseball executive voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, Weiss is often perceived as an extremely successful, yet cold, callous man. Though the collection does not necessarily dispute this, it does downplay Weiss’ adverse personal side, concentrating instead on his phenomenal success as a baseball executive. The scrapbooks consist of: newspaper and magazine clippings; original and reproduced cartoons; letters, invitations, and greeting cards; telegrams; original and reproduced photographs (color and black and white); box scores; schedules; rosters; team yearbooks, press guides, programs, and scorecards; pamphlets; press releases; brochures; tickets; clubhouse and parking passes; press credential tags; identification buttons, ribbons, and stickers; business cards; radio scripts; menus; and a checkbook. As newspaper clippings make up the bulk of this collection, many prestigious local and national sports columnists are represented in these pages. These writers include Parke Carroll, Bill Corum, Arthur Daley, Dan Daniel, Ben Epstein, Frank Graham, Milton Gross, Barney Kremenko, Dan Parker, Westbrook Pegler, Jimmy Powers, J. Lester Scott, Red Smith, Joe Williams, and Dick Young. The collection, however, consists of far more than just clippings; there is more than a fair share of correspondence, original photographs, and ephemera which was lovingly and carefully collected (possibly by Weiss’ long-time secretary, Betty King). The end result is a detailed chronicle of Weiss and his work.
