Need Help 33 Briggs Ruth....

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>bigfish</b><p>I am trading a 1933 Briggs Babe Ruth to another board member. Card is not for sale and will not be listed on the BST or ebay. It will grade an SGC 20 or higher. Can't find any pricing on this one. Anyone know this issue? Any help with pricing would help me and another board member out with a trade.<br /><br />Thanks in advance.<br /><br />Toby

Posted By: <b>Matt</b><p>This is an interesting question which comes up from time to time - both "price guides" referenced project the card in the $300-$350 range. With no VCP data, what reference points do you guys use to estimate that those prices are off? Cards with little to no VCP data often show up; this would be a good exercise if you could share your thought process on how to value such cards.<br />thanks!

Posted By: <b>Rhett Yeakley</b><p>My thinking would be that a clean VG card from this Very Tough issue would be in the $1000-1200 range, probably even higher. Pretty much right in line with the other posters<br /><br />That being based on the fact that it is Babe Ruth pictured, it is a VERY tough 1930's issue, and if you don't pay that amount Leon, Adam, or I will buy it.<br /><br />-Rhett

In fact, I'll take two!<br /><br />Sic Gorgiamus Allos Subjectatos Nunc

Posted By: <b>bigfish</b><p>Thanks guys for the input. The card is going to be traded to my Cousin so if he wants to sell it to you he will. I guess you really don't know until you auction it off as Leon said above.<br /><br />Thanks for all the posts.
