Default Babe Ruth

I’m amazed at the price increases for Babe Ruth, primarily his 1933 Goudey issues. I get the increase for the all time great, and his cards have been steadily rising. But curious what was cause for the recent explosion in his issues?

It was only 2 years ago when you can buy a low grade 33 goudey for a little over 1k. Now it’s 3-4x that price?

Great to see this as this is good for the hobby, but curious on others’ take on higher demand on higher prices. Anecdotally, seems supply is also drying up too as there use to be multiple issues each pwcc auction, there’s only 1-2 of them in the current auction. Which you would think the higher prices would bring out supply.
