petecldJohn/z28jd is absolutely right. I too have noticed rather high prices for really low grade cards.
Goudey Ruth and Gehrig cards do quite well in trashed condition. I recall an E95 Cobb that was removed from an album and now had a hole in the middle that you could drop a dime through - I'm thinking $40-50 tops. I lost a bet because the darn thing sold for $157.
That's what is great about this hobby - one man's trash is another man's treasure.
