Apparently REA has an SGC 3 Baltimore News Ruth in their upcoming auction. Any predictions for the final price?

Just saw it it is a beauty.
Here is a picture from the email. They claim 1 of 10 I say $15 million I believe this was Leon card but that is only a unsubstantiated rumor |
Piggybacking off Jeffrey,
Quality should be a bit better directly from the site here. By the way, Opening bid is 2.5M. https://robertedwardauctions.com/baltimore-news-ruthhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a841a7cefc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...86c765b098.jpg |
At least 7 dollars :)
|
No offense...
... but how did that pull an SGC 3 grade?

I owned a common from the series, at one time. That is about as close as I will ever get. . |

11.7 mill is my guess
|
$9.6 million including the buyer's premium
|
My guess: 8.5 before juice
|
I guess $14.5MM.
Leon, please start a Net54 Go Fund Me for fractional ownership! :) I think this will surpass the $12.6MM 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle SGC 9.5 ‘Finest Example Known’. And in the not far distant future, 1 of the 3 PSA 10 1952 Topps Micks will hit the auction block for $30MM, to then surpass this Ruth Rookie. |
Maybe '3 VG' stands for 3 very good corners?
Looks like this was the Collectable.com card valued at $8.83mm when partially re-purchased by the owner in 2021? Unless I'm missing something. Dream card. I’ll go with a $4.3mm value, economy and rates being where they are. https://collectable.com/offerings/ba...sgc-3-buy-out/ |
That's a 2, or 1.5 all day...but in the end with it being such a rare and amazing card, it's somewhat irrelevant (at least to me).
I'll go $13.7M after the juice is applied. Bill |
I believe this was the card that was fractionalized.

Edited to add: I take it back...it does look like the same card...sorry! |
This used to be the card that was on display all those years at the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore.

Incredible card, but yeah, that's laughable that it's graded a 3.
|
I believe that is the Babe Ruth Museum card. I think that one sold for ballpark $5 million so it will be interesting to see how much it has appreciated. Good luck to the seller!
|
The top has arrived!
Mark this |
8-10 million.
|
Great card, excited to see the results. My guess is 15-18 million w/bp.

My only question is if someone is willing to pay $10 million now why wouldn’t they have approached the Babe Ruth Museum when the card was available for a lot less. Amongst people in the know I doubt it was a mystery that the card was available.

I guess the current owners decided they're ready to cash out now that they expect 8 figures.
In terms of price, how many rich guys are out there and willing to go nuts over this one? All it takes are 2! Since we're having fun throwing out wild guesses, I might as well go hog wild and guess that we'll get to $20M on this one, including the juice. There's just enough guys in the cardboard world with 9 figure bank accounts who are willing to part with a slice of their cash to pick this one up for a while. |

Incredible card. If I had the money (in my dreams) would be a tough call between that or a game worn Ruth jersey. Probably similar pricing.
|
Opening bid is 2.5 million. I see 10-12 million range.

I think this breaks the record but idk how much. Id guess between 12-15 mil probably
|
15 large
I think it will go for 15M before BP.
It’s about the best combo of player/ rare card out there |
|
I hope it sells for more than that "Trout" Rookie?
|
|
Monet really pumps my knads !

Great movie. ;) (Insanely awesome Ruth. Congrats to Brian, Joe and team for landing it). |
i think bidders will partner up and hold it back from breaking mantle record. guess is $10.2mm
|
I tried to buy the card from the museum a number of years ago. Obviously, they turned me down. 😢

I'd hate to be a schedule collector, and need this one for my list...

Becomes the largest sale for a baseball card ever…someone adds it to their already superior collection…maybe sells it privately in a year or five for other real property and the rest of us keep doing what we do. 😊

Every example I have seen from this "set" has had slightly rounded corners, but they've also shown other signs of wear, so it's hard to tell how the corners started out in 1914.
Does anyone know if these cards were issued with the corners already rounded, or were they perfectly square when new? If they started out already a bit rounded, then the SGC grade is not too crazy, since the central image is pretty clean and crease free, despite the chipping and creasing in the edge areas. |
