1921 exhibit Ruth AUTO!
 

Wow! Saw this pop up on eBay tonight and thought I would share. Has anyone seen this before? What an amazing card. Seller makes a solid case for asking price imo.

1921 Exhibits Babe Ruth Autograph AUTO PSA DNA GEM MINT 10 Yankees 1/1

1 picture for a $275k listing is kind of an interesting approach :)

sold in Heritage auction for $31k in May, 2015:

Guy must be assuming a lot of people were sleeping on the Heritage Auction.

Or he read about the 275k Mantle private sale

Not to denigrate the card and autograph, but IMHO, the Heritage price was all the money (and perhaps then some) with all the Ruth autographs out there. I'm watching this one on ebay just to see how long it takes for it to come up for auction when there are no takers or offers (on or off the "bay") for anywhere near the asking price.

That is a stunning card!

In a perfect world, it would be mine to match my PSA/DNA Hornsby - as the two dominant hitters of the 1920's.

Alas...I'm a little short...


I recently missed out on a PSA-6 (unsigned) Exhibit.

Seems like a steal compared to a '52 Mick in an 8 holder :)

Maybe I'm biased, but I'd much rather have this one.

Me too. That one is fantastic.

Well, one thing's for certain, the Ruth & Gehrig would make a devastating pair. They always have! ---Brian Powell

I was actually talking about this card with another member the other day. Way out of my league, but the card and signature look great. AJ is right he makes a great argument for his ask in the description. One of those cards you don't mind keeping but would sell if someone paid a high enough price. One of a kind.

That sales strategy sounds like mine with this card. Sure it's for sale (sort of), and if you buy it I will be very happy. :) And if you have to ask what the price is, you can't afford it. And personally I would rather have this 1921 Exhibit in the first post, with Ruth's gem mint signature, than a '52 mick in a 7.5 holder, but that is must me.

That Cy Young is one of the nicest cards I have ever seen, from any set. What a great portrait and great color - cards like that are why I collect t-cards. Thanks for sharing Leon.

These cards are all awesome. I continue to wish I owned this one:

^^^my ultimate Grail that I'll never get

Come on..... isn't there a rule about outing auctions... ? :p

Leon, if there is one card, outside of Honus, that is everything I love about pre-War collecting, it is your E99-1 Cy; its color clarity, sharpness, the uniform with Gothic Boston lettering and, of course, the man and his record. I know I can't afford it and that's ok. Forget the Jackson and the Mitchell, this is the card that marks the set. Go Sox!

Thanks John (It's an E90-1, typo :)). It is 1 of 2 cards in my current collection that would be difficult to let go...this one really can't be replaced (or at least not that I have seen), the other can. And for the record, had HA not been auctioning my collection I probably couldn't have afforded it either. It was a huge and happy coincidence. I personally, always thought it was the best card in the set and years before I won it I had it put on one of the Net54baseball T shirts. This card was meant to be.... :cool:

back to subject, not takers at 275k OBO yet...

One of my favorite cards as well. Leon straight trade for yours? :-)

As e90-1 Young-Boston's go, that is a very, very nice one. The one I had previously was similar.
