Happy Earth Day 2026 🌍

At Kaminski Auctions, we believe one important way to honor our planet is to cherish what already exists. The theme for Earth Day 2026 is “Our Power, Our Planet,” reminding us that our daily choices, like where we source our furniture and decor, have the power to create a more resilient future.

Did you know that antiques are the original “green” choice? Investing in the past is one of the most stylish ways to protect our future.

*Why Antiques are an Eco-Friendly Choice:

Reduction in Carbon Footprint: A new chest of drawers can have a carbon footprint 16 times higher than its antique equivalent. By buying at auction, you’re opting out of the energy intensive manufacturing and long distance shipping of modern “fast furniture.”

A Win for the Circular Economy: Choosing pieces that already exist keeps high quality materials out of landfills. The EPA estimates that over 9 million tons of furniture are tossed annually, while antiques are built to last centuries, not seasons.

Fighting Deforestation: Antiques were often crafted from old growth woods that are now rare or protected. Buying vintage means enjoying these beautiful grains without contributing to modern deforestation.

Preserving Craftsmanship: You’re supporting a legacy of durability and artisanal skill, ensuring that high value items stay in use and out of the waste stream.

This Earth Day, we invite you to find something with a soul, a history, and a zero-waste story. Join us in celebrating a more sustainable way to collect.

⚾️ Calling all collectors and baseball fans!

We are thrilled to present a special selection of vintage baseball cards, featuring the legendary Babe Ruth. This lot includes coveted 1935-1940s “Play Ball” cards and a Goudey 4-in-1 card—true Holy Grails for any serious sports enthusiast.

What makes “Play Ball” cards so special?
Produced by Gum, Inc. between 1939 and 1941, the Play Ball series is iconic for its transition from the artistic, illustrated styles of the early 30s to high-quality black-and-white photography. These cards captured the legends of the game during a golden era, offering a crisp, realistic look at the heroes of the dugout.

There is a unique kind of nostalgia that comes with holding a card from this era. These aren’t just pieces of cardboard; they are artifacts of American history. They remind us of a time of afternoon doubleheaders, the crack of a wooden bat, and the larger-than-life legacy of “The Bambino” himself.

Don’t miss your chance to own a timeless connection to this national pastime.
