Ron Oser Enterprises offered a collection of five 1960 Topps World Series Cards' Original Artworks in their December 2000 auction. A sixth showed up for sale in 2013 before REA re-sold the five from 2000 in the summer of 2020. I'm still hunting for the original artwork for Hodges' Winning Homer (card 388).

In 2005, Sotheby's offered a collection of some of the scarcest Pacific Coast League cards in their Important Sports Memorabilia and Cards auction. The lot included 136 cards, plus a few original mailing envelopes, of the four Centennial Flour's Seattle Rainiers sets issued between 1943 and 1947.

If you got a grand or two, here's a fun one to add to a baseball card man cave: Lou Gehrig's Official "Plaball" Baseball Game.

You know what's cool? A plastic radio with facsimile signatures of Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle!
