The Cornerstone Lane

Vintage baseball, trophy-first.

Pre-war cardboard is the backbone of the vault. The Babe Ruth run spans pre-war and post-war issues across multiple sets — a 1919 W514, the 1929 Kashin, and the 1933 Goudey from the pre-war era, the 1948 Leaf after it, and a true 1/1 game-used bat relic pairing Ruth with Mantle — depth that rarely sits in one place. Alongside it: the 1940 Play Ball set, anchored by the #1 DiMaggio rookie, with Williams, Shoeless Joe Jackson, and Foxx; the T206 and Cracker Jack tobacco-and-caramel era; Cobb, Wagner, and Walter Johnson; the 1952 Topps Mantle; and the post-war giants down to Mays, Aaron, and Pete Rose. Priced high to low, with a hard $50 floor.
