For those with an interest in American folk art, in particular folk carvings, you may be surprised in a unique collection of wood carvings at the Kutztown Area Historical Society. Lewis DeTurk (1862-1933) was an important folk carver in Kutztown, Pa.
His work has both realistic elements to the finely detailed chip carved techniques and also folky or primitive attributes. The work was never painted. Not a prolific carver, “about 90 percent of his output is at the society,” said historical society board member Brendan Strasser. It is believed a motive for his hobby was to
entertain and spend time with his ailing wife during a prolonged illness. DeTurk spent roughly two years bedside creating bird sculptures and what his great grandson Dennis calls “carpenter knots.” The
knots are jig-saw-like elaborate wooden puzzle balls that if taken apart are near impossible to ever reassemble. One of his later-in-life chickens, a finely executed chip

Show To Celebrate 20 Years
By Karl Pass
The Simple Goods Early Country Antiques & Primitive Goods Show will return to Berlin, Ohio, this spring to celebrate its 20-year birthday. This special show will be a fun-filled day with antiques, primitives, games, giveaways, and refreshments to commemorate 20 years of this popular show. Simple Goods began in 2006 in Mount Vernon, Ohio. It moved to Mansfield, Ohio, later, and now resides in the town of Berlin, Ohio.

The show features more than 50 wellknown dealers from the Midwest to the East Coast, hand-selected for their quality antiques in various “country” styles. The dealers offer early country and primitive antiques and one-of-a-kind handcrafted wares. They are a knowledgeable group and always ready to share their love of early antiques.

The Jeff Jacob Action Figure Collection Part Four
A 1983 “Star Wars” “AT-AT” Imperial All Terrain Armored Vehicle Speeds To $50,762
The Jeff Jacob Collection continued its march into the history books on Feb. 4, as Hake’s auctioned Part IV of the Colorado-based consignor’s trove of “Star Wars,”
bid the assemblage to a hefty $48,871 against an estimate of $25,000 to $35,000.
A Palitoy “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” (1984) Boba Fett tri-logo 70 Back
A rare Palitoy (for U.K. release) “Star Wars” (1978) Death Star cardboard playset, AFA Qualified 75 Q-EX+/NM, at time of cataloging, AFA Population Report indicated only five examples of this toy had been graded, with only three examples in an AFA 75 grade (single Qualified, two higher), sold above high estimate, for $10,038.
“GI Joe” and other rare and sought-after toys. Chalking up $844,000, the latest offering boosted the series subtotal so far to a heady $4.4 million, with the fifth and final installment of action figures from the stellar collection set to cross the auction block later this year.
The Feb. 4 event was led by a daunting Kenner “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi” (1983) AT-AT Imperial All Terrain Armored Transport Vehicle, AFA 85 NM+, with its original pictorial box. At the time of cataloging, it was confirmed to be one of only eight examples in an AFA 85 grade, per the current AFA Population Report, with none graded higher. It ambled its way to a jaw-dropping $50,762 against a pre-sale estimate of $4,000 to $8,000.
A lot consisting of 114 “Star Wars” action figures produced from 1977 to 1985 represented the 92-figure set Kenner produced for its “Star Wars,” “The Empire Strikes Back,” “Return Of The Jedi,” and “The Power Of The Force” toylines, with the addition of some variants and two figures by Lili Ledy (Mexico). Each loose figure was encapsulated and individually graded by AFA. It was the first time a complete set of this type had ever come to auction, a fact that was not missed by collectors, who
(Parker) displayed text in three languages (English, Spanish and French) and was AFA-graded 75 Ex+/NM (light blue/unpainted knee/Clipper mini-catalog). At the time of cataloging, it was one of only two examples graded by AFA, according to current AFA Population Report, and was also the single highest-graded example. It flew past its $5,000 to $10,000 estimate to land at $38,137.
Two Kenner spacecraft that would have fueled children’s imaginations in the early 1980s easily exceeded their estimates. A 1980 “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” Millennium Falcon Spaceship, one of the top pieces in the “Empire Strikes Back” range, was graded AFA 85 NM+. Unheard of in this condition, with no example of its type and grade ever having appeared before in a Hake’s auction, it was one of
only two graded 85 NM+, per the current AFA Population Report. Against an estimate of $10,000 to $20,000, it rose to a selling price of $25,076.
The second of the two elite Kenner spaceship lots was Boba Fett’s “Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back” (1981) Slave I craft. As described on its box, its features and accessories included “Gravity Operated Wings, Removable Slide, Clicking Cannons, Opening Rear Ramp, Movable
Seat and Simulated Frozen Han Solo.” A coveted toy, both at the time of its release and in today’s collector marketplace, it was AFA-graded Uncirculated U85 NM+, with only three toys of its type ever having been given a higher grade, per the current AFA Population Report. Estimated at $5,000 to $10,000, it sold for $19,567.
Among the Hasbro “GI Joe” highlights was a 1983

Nautical Transport: Air Driven” mail-away offer. At the time of cataloging, it was the only AFAgraded example, per to current AFA Population Report. It sold for $3,944, more than four times its high estimate. For more information, email hakes@hakes.com or visit www.hakes.com. All images courtesy of Hake’s Auctions.

“The Garagiola Wagner,” originally consigned from the collection of Hall of Famer and broadcaster Joe Garagiola, remains the most iconic trading card in the hobby. Produced in limited quantity after Wagner’s refusal to permit the American Tobacco Company to use his likeness, the T206 Wagner has long symbolized rarity at the highest level, with approximately 65 examples known in the total population. This Sweet Caporal-backed example, graded SGC Authentic, carries scrapbook evidence of early preservation and ranks among the most storied copies to surface in recent years. Its $3,599,000 result is a record for any example with an Authentic grade and the fifth-highest ever for a T206 Wagner.

seven-figure results and numerous world records set,” said Chris Ivy, Heritage’s director of sports auctions. “It featured many ‘firsts,’ which always are prized by serious collectors, and featured various artifacts tied to defining moments in sports history which deservedly found homes in elite collections.”
A 1997-98 SkyBox Premium Star Rubies Michael Jordan #29 PSA EX-MT 6 sold for $329,400, a record for the card and for the entire set.
Close behind was a 1997 Ultra Michael Jordan Masterpiece (1 of 1) #23P PSA NM-MT 8, the first one-of-one card ever produced of Jordan, which brought $2,104,500. In 1997, Fleer introduced the “Masterpiece” parallel into its Ultra and Flair Showcase brands, pioneering the now-standard one-of-one chase card concept that ended up defining modern card collecting. The significance of this card lies not just in its exclusivity, but also in its role as the origin point of one-of-one scarcity in the hobby. This example is the only one in existence, and this event marked the first time it was offered to the collecting community at auction. Jordan’s card was issued across several levels: the base version; an unnumbered Gold Medallion; a Platinum Medallion (numbered to 100); and this, the singular Masterpiece parallel. Professional wrestling history produced one of the auction’s most staggering results when Hulk Hogan’s matchworn and signed yellow boots from WrestleMania I sold

for $1,037,000, smashing the record Heritage set last year for a wrestling item, as well as the pre-auction estimate of $200,000-plus. Photo-matched to March 31, 1985, at Madison Square Garden, where Hogan teamed with Mr. T to defeat “Rowdy” Roddy Piper and Paul “Mr. Wonderful” Orndorff in the event that launched WrestleMania into mainstream culture, the boots are synonymous with Hogan’s red-andyellow era and the transformation of the WWF, which in 2002 became the WWE, into a global entertainment powerhouse.
Another one-of-one Jordan rarity, the 1998 Ultra Masterpiece Michael Jordan #85P PSA EX 5, brought $625,500 to set a record for the card and for the entire issue. Produced during his final season in Chicago and carrying the “Only One of One Masterpiece Edition” designation, the card mirrors the base checklist while representing the culmination of the Bulls era. Its appeal among collectors also grew out of the fact that it is from Jordan’s final appearance at Madison Square Garden as a member of the Bulls.
Few athletes are in as much demand as Jordan, who appeared in 95 lots in the auction, including a 1997-98 SkyBox Premium Star Rubies Michael Jordan #29 PSA EX-MT 6 that fetched $329,400, a record for the card and for the entire set. He also was represented on one of 24 atop a PSA population of

the 1915 Babe Ruth Original Rookie photograph by G.T. Murray Studios, PSA/DNA Type 1, an image originally from the personal collection of team owner Joseph Lannin that realized $585,600, a record for any Ruth photo and the second-highest price ever paid for any sports photograph. Taken during the Boston Red Sox’s 1915 spring training visit to Hot Springs, Ark., just four games into Ruth’s Major League career, the image predates his first home run and ranks among the earliest known Major League photographs of the future Sultan of Swat. Fine art intersected with boxing history when LeRoy Neiman’s 1974 “The Rumble in the Jungle” Muhammad Ali vs. George Foreman original painting from the Don King collection sold for $366,000, the most paid for a Neiman in more than a decade. Measuring 48 by 36 inches, the oil-onboard original served as promotional art-
legendary Kinshasa heavyweight championship bout and captures Ali’s Rope-aDope strategy in Neiman’s signature expressionist style.
A 1950 Bowman Jackie Robinson #22 PSA Mint 9, one of just 12 examples in this grade, with only one graded higher, drew a winning bid of $329,400 to set a record for the card and for the entire set. Bowmans from the 1950s are elusive in high grades, in part because of the amount of time that has passed but also because many are stained by the wax and gum that were included in the packs. One of just nine examples of a 1949 Bowman Satchell Paige Rookie #224 PSA Mint 9 realized $256,200, a new record, and a period-signed 1955 Topps Roberto Clemente #164 PSA VG-EX 4, PSA/ DNA Auto 7 sold for $183,000, a record for any signed Clemente card.
