Sporting News Ruth Rookie Buy in Price
I haven't been very active lately and I haven't tracked this card much but I am curious what the buy in for this card is. I assume the blank back would be the cheapest. I saw a really nice fair in a SGC holder that appears to have sold for 75K. That seems extreme so was curious what the thoughts are here. Thanks

id say for a card that presents reasonably well yet is graded lower on the scale...75K is right about there for the entry point.
this card has been on the steady rise as of lately. |

I would guess any player that is consistently in the Top 20 list of greatest baseball players ever. And the RC or early card of that player, and if it is more vintage, then high grade. Finally a card that is always on people's want list, but probably goes under the radar. Given this criteria, my guess is: Zeenut Joe DiMaggio. (Note that I do not own one of these cards yet.)

Might be too obscure of an issue for a take off?

I thinking more a beat card, not a lower grade card that presents well. I know there was one example with 1/4 of the card missing....
Just not sure I can stomach a 75K card.

i hear you...I know I cannot!!!!!!! Well maybe for a piece of a ruth rookie or a card in pretty rough shape im sure the buy in would be closer to 20-30K

my guess
I'm thinking right now the new buy-in for the worst of the worst is $40k. how many of these are there to go around? 70? Of a RUTH ROOKIE? $40k seems right (at the moment) to me. Further - I think down the road could easily one day reach $100k buy-in.

The $75k card was a "best offer" - I believe it actually sold for $55-65k (just can't remember what exactly).
