A Unique Auction: Babe Ruth and Iconic Characters Gather at Morphy's in November
Morphy Auctions: A Collector's Wonderland
From November 10 to 12, 2026, Morphy Auctions in Pennsylvania will host a spectacular event brimming with rare collectibles featuring legendary figures like Babe Ruth, Mickey Mouse, Superman, and even the devil himself. This auction promises an eclectic mix of historical memorabilia that caters to avid collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The Star Attractions
Among the highlights of the auction is the coveted 1933 Goudey #53 Babe Ruth baseball card, graded SGC 60 EX 5. This extraordinary card, beloved by collectors, is in excellent to near-mint condition with an estimated value ranging between $30,000 and $50,000. Another notable Babe Ruth item is a 1932 U.S. Caramel #32 baseball card, boasting a striking deep red background and a stellar condition that elevates its estimated worth to the same bracket.
For those who admire historical sports memorabilia, there's also a 35-inch store model baseball bat famously signed by Babe Ruth. Its condition is graded 7/10, and it comes with a full JSA letter of authenticity, making it a must-see for collectors, with an estimated value of $15,000 to $25,000.
Disney Delights
Disney aficionados will be excited by the circa-1920s/1930s tin litho 'Mickey the Musical Mouse' toy, a rare piece featuring Minnie Mouse. This unique item is one of the few known variations by an unknown German maker and is in excellent condition, making it an exceptional find for collectors with a price tag of $20,000 to $30,000. When cranked, the toy plays a charming 'plink-plink' sound, enhancing its nostalgic allure.
The Superhero Bid
The auction will also provide bidders with a classic superhero collectible: a 1954 Adco-Liberty Superman lithographed metal lunchbox. Showcasing bright colors and spectacular graphics of Superman battling a giant robot against a Gotham City skyline, its estimated worth of $8,000 to $12,000 reflects its appeal to comics fans and collectors alike, although it does not include the original Thermos.
The Devil is in the Details
A rather unusual offering is a two-faced cast-iron devil bank from A C Williams, characterized by its intricate details, including visible teeth and strikingly vivid red paint. This piece, retaining its original condition, is expected to fetch between $800 and $2,000.
