A baseball card and memorabilia collection worth millions of dollars that includes Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig autographed cards is set to be auctioned off beginning this month.
According to NJ.com's Casey Roland, 2,000 separate lots will be put up for bid by Wheatland Auction Services, with the first 650 lots going up Sunday. The collection was owned by New Jersey native James Micioni, who died at the age of 97 in March.
Micioni, who was affectionately known as Uncle Jimmy, left a collection that consisted of over 1,000 baseball cards and collectibles.
Most notably, Micioni owned six 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth cards that were autographed by the New York Yankees legend himself.
