Companies have been using sports and sports stars to advertise products for a very long time and this category includes items that advertise or feature sports or athletes. By far the most common sport from the late 1800s and into the early 1900s would be baseball and the majority of valuable items will be baseball related. Probably the most famous sports related advertising is the T-206 tobacco card set including the legendary Honus Wagner card, but other items featuring greats like Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth have also been known to bring in large sums to sellers.

The values in this category vary from the astronomical (Honus Wagner card in good condition sold for over $3 million) to the very tame (common items can be found for less than $25) so consulting with us or another experienced dealer will give you a good idea of the value and condition of your item before you sell it.
