How rare would a stack of 1921 Herpolsheimer's be? Including Babe. Just wondering :)

I have the Holsum Ruth 1/1 from 1920. I paid 84k 4-5 yrs ago. It’s estimated to be in the 125k-140k+ area presently. E121’s have easily doubled the past five years, and with that iconic pose, I think your card will bring a haul, congrats!

Awesome find! Which other HOFers are in there? I see Maranville and Sisler. I would think this card would top $100k easily and $200k wouldn't surprise me.

Whoa! Congrats::::
I guess my 1/1 Stengel(thanks Leon!) is now a 1/2...all good though.
Hope these cards are found to be authentic, and helps put the doubts about the legitimacy of the original find to rest.

Do these cards also have pencil marks on the back?
Was the pencil in the band-aid box too?

Ha ha no the pencil is a home depot carpenters pencil. I've been remodeling the kitchen and that was the pencil on my desk.

No pencil marks on the backs of these herps that I can see.

I copied all the pics to the first post now. Apologies for rolling them out slowly.

Very nice card! Would have guessed better than 40/VG3.

Hi Pete! I think that the card will go for a lot less than $100,000. Although there are now only two copies, there are many ad back Ruth rookies with only a few copies known and in this condition they would sell for between $150,000 and $200,000. This is from the post Red Sox period and is a lot less desirable than a rookie card. I would value it at $40,000 to $60,000.

Hi Jay! Didn't realize there were two, and in its condition, I agree on price and on your assessment of the value of the rarer Ruth RC ad backs. The E121/E122's have continued to climb though in price on their popularity and being undervalued for too long. Super card/find nonetheless.
