"It isn't often that rare football cards trump their baseball memorabilia counterparts in a major auction, but it happened over the weekend when a mint condition 1948 Leaf Sammy Baugh card (graded 96 by Sportscard Guaranty) brought $33,000 in a live sale conducted by Hunt Auctions. With the company's 15% buyer's premium, the final realized price was $37, 950.
Hunt Auctions' president David Hunt reports the card was part of a single owner collection of 1940 and 50s Bowman, Topps and Leaf baseball and football cards which the owner had purchased about 20 years ago.
"The cards had , literally, remained in a single loose leaf binder for all of those years until just recently when they were submitted to us for consignment and we went to SGC to have the finer examples within the collection graded," Hunt explained. "The majority of the collection was in this auction but there will be a second offering later this year with the balance of the cards."

Nice card.
Looks more like an 8.5, but close enough I guess.
