Would it be cheaper to start collecting Baseball now?

Would a set of all 4 PSA 8 1933 Goudey Ruth's go for this much?

I think one that went for an insane amount was also posted recently...I think it was in a 10 holder...Gem Mint.....a boatload of money. I just have to think there are unopened packs of these out there...

Never under estimate the power of the Stooges.  I love those shows even today but am taken back by the price of these.. WTH!

I'm guess the buyer is going after the highest graded set, his past winnings are for PSA 8's, 9's and 10's.

Here is the PSA 10 Checklist...I don't collect non-sports cards but whatever!

Prices on Non-sports are going through the roof. I recently sold some of my PSA 7 and 8 51 bowman red menace at about 4X what I paid 2 years ago. Seems like baseball is going a bit cheaper, but these on-sports are going way up. I'll stick with a set of 5/6 if I can get all the money for my higher grade ones. I'd rather have a consistent set than a sprinkle of hi grade and low grade. I realized I can no longer afford some sets in the grade I would like.
