Huggins and Scott To My Fellow Hobbyists, Welcome to our fifth and final auction of 2010. This auction features the spectacular personal collection of veteran hobbyist Steve Wolfe of King George, Virginia. The high-grade 1952 Topps set as well as early Bowman and Goudey sets are featured along with an extensive array of other high-grade cards and unique memorabilia. We thank Steve for his trust in us, and I'm sure many of you will enjoy owning some of these treasures as Steve did. In our constant efforts to improve our auctions to meet your requests, we have made a noteworthy change for this and all future auctions. We will require initial bids to be submitted by 10:00 PM east coast time rather than 9:00 PM. A little love for our "left coast" people! With our auction ending just before the King Of Prussia/Philadelphia, PA show, we are tentatively planning to have a truck to deliver winning items on Saturday December 4th if we get enough interest. Contact Stefan to arrange this. 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. Dave Stoddard has added even more new features to keep our site simple and user friendly while incorporating new and useful ideas. Our head writer Kevin Heffner and his staff of James Feagin and Mark Raines have worked tirelessly to get these lots written. Former writer turned photographer Matt Flores and our "man of many hats" Stefan Wisinski have captured all the images. Utility men Randy Curtis and Ricky Huggins have aided all the above without missing a beat. Mark Spinrad has swept the catalog for #@%#”s, while Josh Wulkan and Stefan have given Mike Henry the “canvas and paint” he needs to create another master- piece. Kris Fraley and Randy did another amazing job sending out lots in a safe and timely manner. Great job guys!! Once again Barry Malkin's eagle eyes have spotted some high-grade gems!! Our constantly growing nationwide staff of consignor reps (now at 37 strong), lead by the tireless Steve Dickler, have gathered together another fine assortment of “goodies.” Should you have items or an entire collection you are thinking about selling, a full list of our well-qualified and ready reps as well as contact info is available is this cata- log. Call them. You'll be pleasantly surprised how much money they can put in your pocket.

I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.
