SCP Auctions

SCP Auctions is one of the nation's largest auctioneers and private sellers of important sports memorabilia and cards, and is considered a leader in its industry.

Founded in 1979 by David Kohler, SCP Auctions' record speaks for itself, as the company has realized record auction and private sale prices for items including the c. 1920 Babe Ruth New York Yankees game worn road jersey ($4.415 million); Babe Ruth's 500th Home Run Bat ($1,000,800); the 1857 "Laws of Base Ball" document set ($3.263 million); T-206 Honus Wagner card ($2.8 million); Jesse Owens' 1936 Olympic gold medal ($1.466 million); the bat Babe Ruth used to hit the first home run in old Yankee Stadium ($1.265 million); the contract that sent Babe Ruth to the Yankees from the Red Sox ($996,000); Barry Bonds' record-breaking No. 756 home run ball ($752,467); and Babe Ruth's gold pocket watch presented to him by the New York Yankees during his last appearance at Yankee Stadium in 1948 ($650,108).

Previous Estates: SCP Auctions has worked directly with the families and relatives of some sports premier athletes to bring their estates to the auction block. Our attention to detail, professionalism and dedication has resulted in record prices realized and an unrivaled presentation of the offered material.

SCP has always been able to get me high prices when I've sold various pieces from my collection. At other times, when I have wanted to add a specific item to my collection, David and his staff have always worked hard to locate the desired piece. Their service is excellent and with their retail store, website, and auction capability, they cover all the bases whether you are selling or acquiring.

I'm extremely pleased and flattered by the results of the auction. And I'm happy that faithful fans of the Milwaukee Brewers and baseball in general can enjoy some of these mementos. Initially it was bittersweet saying goodbye to my grandfather's baseball items, but then the auction started and my entire family rejoiced.

Since 1979, SCP Auctions has conducted record-setting auctions that have featured some of the most prominent collections and important individual sports memorabilia items that have ever been offered publicly.
