Don’t tell that to the buyer that took me out on the Ruth HR Chocolate postcard for $15,600! Sorry Pete but most of the Ruth cards went strong including the exhibits and the PSA 5 Honey Boy fetching $24,000. Let’s face it, that PSA 4 Ruth Rookie is overgraded by TWO full grades and should either be a 2 or 4-ST. It also has been in auction at least 5 times! People are now buying the card more than the grade, and the 4 Rookie is 80/20 centered at best with unsightly blue staining on the back. Ruth rookies and all rare items (especially Red Sox related artifacts) are as strong as ever. The 3 Rookie card 7’s have now sold for $717K; $556K and $600K since 2016, justifying why $600K is not a soft sale by any means.
