A Surreal Gathering of Icons and Memorabilia
Who'd have thought you could snag both Babe Ruth and Mickey Mouse in one fell swoop? Well, come November 10-12, 2026, fans and collectors alike will have the opportunity at Morphy Auctions in Denver, PA. It's a dizzying array of Americana where cultural legend meets sports royalty, and we're not talking pocket change here.
Babe Ruth: Stepping Up to the Auction Plate
Let's talk numbers for a moment. Up on the block is a 1933 Goudey #53 Babe Ruth baseball card, a coveted piece of sports history graded SGC 60 EX 5. Some folks are calling it kid stuff, but when the bids climb to a lofty $30,000-$50,000, this junk wax shows it's still got some juice. Right alongside it trots a relic from 1932, a U.S. Caramel Babe Ruth #32 card, dressed in a vibrant red. Also a PSA VG-EX+ 4.5, this slice of history touts an estimate in the same stratospheric range.
Babe Ruth's bat doesn't strike out either, a 35-inch store-model signed by the man himself. It’s a whopping $15,000-$25,000 for those ready to embrace a piece of the Sultan's legacy.
Disney and Superman: More Than Child's Play
Fancy something a bit more playful? Glance over to the Disney section—a Mickey Mouse tin litho toy, from unknown German hands, bears an uncanny allure. It's not just any Mickey, but a musical one, and it could set a serious enthusiast back $20,000-$30,000. Try finding another with Minnie alongside playing tunes—as rare as forked lightning.
The Man of Steel isn't left in the dust either. A Superman lunchbox straight outta 1954, battling robots over Gotham's skyline—this is no run-of-the-mill schoolkid fodder. Despite its age, it boasts vibrant colors and conditions that scream collectibility. Estimated at $8,000-$12,000, it might be lunch money to some.
The Devil's in the Details: An Oddball Offering
And then, the curveball—a cast-iron devil still bank, reminiscent of a toothy grin from A C Williams. It's a punchy little piece, played up for its devilish charm with a price tag hitting $800-$2,000. For collectors who lean into the bizarre, this one's got tales to tell.
Where else can you find hearts of nostalgia digging so deep? It's a world where the uncanny meets the downright legendary.
