Surprising Price?

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>they still have size qualifications to be graded this high(o/w authentic would apply),and most were cut by kids 80 years ago. besides this being an ugly card it is a bargain compared to an exnm goudey ruth. i'd bet there are a lot less of these around.

Posted By: <b>Greg Ecklund</b><p>Definitely more than I'd pay for a Ruth strip card...if I was looking to spend that kind of money I'd rather spend a little more to get a mid grade Goudey or a caramel card.<br /><br />While on the topic of surprising prices, how about some of those E91's that davidbvintage is also selling, especially the Kling:<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5218254450&category=57 993&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5218254450&category=57 993&rd=1</a><br /><br />I was watching it for a while because the pose is neat and I thought I might be able to pick it up for $50 or so - how wrong I was! Some of the E91's are just way out there...I can't imagine paying that much for a card where the "picture" barely resembles the player who is supposed to be depicted, but to each his own I guess.

Posted By: <b>john/z28jd</b><p>On the e91s the only one besides Kling where the price seems unreasonable is the Joe Wood which is over $300 in sgc20.Unless its rare and i dont know about it the Kling might just be an example of 2 people bidding enough to make sure they won the card not thinking that someone else might do the same thing
