In 2005, Sotheby's offered a collection of some of the scarcest Pacific Coast League cards in their Important Sports Memorabilia and Cards auction. The lot included 136 cards, plus a few original mailing envelopes, of the four Centennial Flour's Seattle Rainiers sets issued between 1943 and 1947.

I ran across this window sign advertising the circa 1937 R342 Goudy Thum-Movies in Sotheby's March 1991 auction catalog, which included The Copeland Collection; it's a cool-looking sign in black and white, but it's actually red, white, and blue.
Here's one you don't see every day, especially in triplicate: a 1984 Topps Football Cut Card Case! One of each sheet (“A”, “B”, and “C”).
