A Joe DiMaggio 1950-51 Yankees game-worn uniform photo-matched to six games including two home run games and a Bobby Orr 1966 Topps USA Test #35 PSA Mint 9 – the world’s most valuable hockey card – headline the Lelands Winter 2019 Classic Auction, which opens for bidding today and runs through Feb. 1.

One of the most elusive Live Ball era flannels, DiMaggio gamers in any condition are incredibly rare because it was routine for MLB teams to bequeath their uniforms after the season ended, for use by their minor league affiliates. DiMaggio wore the uniform being offered for two of his home runs during the 1950 championship season, including his first that year.

The Orr 1966 Topps USA Test #35 PSA Mint 9 is the highest-graded Orr rookie card ever. To test U.S. interest in hockey prior to the NHL expanding from six to 12 teams for the 1967-68 season, Topps released a “TEST” extremely limited issue of its 1966-67 hockey cards to the California market. The Orr #35 from this TEST set is the apex of the set and likely the most sought-after hockey card in existence.

The Lelands.com auction also fields a fantastic lineup of pro football game-used jerseys highlighted by a sensational Pittsburgh Steelers collection directly from the team’s archive, headlined by a Jerome Bettis 2000 game-worn “touchdown” jersey. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Steelers Archive Jerseys will be donated to the Chuck Noll Foundation for Brain Injury Research.
