Not even a close. The Ruth all day long. Besides, how is that Jordan a 10 with that centering?

The fact that a grader gave that a 10 absolutely shows a PSA grading scale is garbage.

I would not pay more than a 35 bucks for that card personally outside that case and then feel hesitant as this Jordan bubble looks to me like a balloon racing into a razor warehouse. That someone paid 25k for a 10 on a plastic slab holding an 8 is madness.

Who are these people throwing money away on a junk wax sticker!? This was a sub 10 dollar card a year ago unslabbed, how can this be a logical use of one's money? I am just mind blown.

Perhaps that is true, Bob, but I am leery of dumping a large sum of money into any card with hundreds of thousands of raw examples that could easily erode its value with newly slabbed specimens...and you know that this result will spawn a rush of submittals to PSA of the 1988 stickers. The Ruth is a classic card from a classic set that is not likely to see a pop increase.

Personally, I'd not buy either card. I've always believed in buying rarity, not slabs. The Jordan is common; the Ruth is tougher but still a widely available mainstream card. I'd rather have a nice midgrade Ruth that presents well and spend the other $20,000+ on other cards.

Odd that members of a pre-WW2 baseball card message board would chose a pre-WW2 baseball card over a post-WW2 basketball card...

Would you guys prefer a Baltimore News Ruth or a comparably valued copy of Superman #1?😐
