Scoop has learned that dealer Bill Hughes made several significant
sales at The National Sports Collectors Show held in Chicago recently. One of
the sales was a 1940 Ted Williams jersey for $50,000. The jersey was worn by
Williams during the 1940 season and was in excellent condition. Another
noteworthy transaction was the sale of a 1951 Bowman baseball card sheet that
featured the Mickey Mantle rookie card. “The 1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle Rookie
card sheet was sold for just under $100,000,” remarked Hughes.
