SCP Auctions Fall Premier 2026: Ruth Bats and Ohtani's 300th Home Run Ball Close Nov. 15

SCP Auctions' 2026 Fall Premier closes on November 15, 2026 with two Babe Ruth game-used bats, Shohei Ohtani's 300th career home run ball and his signed Topps NOW 1-of-1 among its 529 lots, per SCP's catalog. On November 10, the 1928-29 Ruth bat stood at $100,000 after 6 bids.

The Headline Lots

Current bids on SCP's lot pages on November 10, 2026:

• 1928-29 Babe Ruth H&B R34 bat, PSA/DNA GU 9: $100,000 after 6 bids. A 41.2-ounce hickory bat that SCP says Ruth gave to teammate Mark Koenig, with "MK" burned into the barrel (since repaired, per PSA/DNA's John Taube) and penciled on the knob
• 1931 Babe Ruth H&B bat, PSA/DNA GU 8: $85,000 after 5 bids. Ruth gave it to Johnny Mize in 1936, per Mize's signed note
• Shohei Ohtani 300th career home run ball: $24,000 after 3 bids. The 409-foot leadoff home run at Dodger Stadium on July 7, 2026. It has no MLB authentication hologram, so SCP relies on an SIA photo match and signed affidavits from the two fans who caught it
• 2026 Topps NOW #428-A Ohtani autographed FoilFractor 1/1: $40,000 after 6 bids, signed and inscribed "300th HR 7/7/26", still in its Topps NOW case
• 1921 Standard Biscuit Babe Ruth PSA 3: $75,000 after 19 bids. SCP says only five copies have been graded by PSA and SGC combined
• 1948 Bowman #69 George Mikan PSA 7: $26,000 after 14 bids
• 2026 Panini Prizm FIFA World Cup Cristiano Ronaldo Gold Power 1/1 PSA 10: $95,000 after 10 bids

How the Auction Closes

Per SCP's terms, the initial bidding period ends at 7:00 p.m. PST (10:00 p.m. EST) on Sunday, November 15. After that, each lot closes on its own once 30 minutes pass with no new bid, and only bidders who bid on a lot before 7:00 p.m. can keep bidding on it. SCP adds a 20% buyer's premium to the hammer price.

Sports Collectors Daily reported pre-sale estimates on October 30 of $400,000 or more for the Koenig bat, $250,000 or more for the Mize bat, $250,000 or more each for the Ohtani ball and Topps NOW card, $75,000 or more for the 1921 Ruth, and $300,000 or more for the Ronaldo 1/1.

What It Means for Collectors

Two of these lots tie straight to 2026 milestones. Ohtani reached 300 home runs on July 7, and the encased Topps NOW 1/1 was signed and inscribed for that game. Our take: watch the gap between these bids and SCD's estimates. On November 10 the 1921 Ruth already sat at its $75,000 estimate, while both Ruth bats and both Ohtani lots were below half of theirs. Under SCP's 30-minute rule, a lot stays open on closing night for as long as new bids keep coming. Our restored T206 Honus Wagner story covers that card's $1,982,500 Heritage sale in October, and our October card sales story covers the month's totals.
