More money than ever is in the hobby. Some of that money has gravitated to pre war and its blowing up the prices of certain players and sets. Ruth is THE player - no safer “investment” in sports. In fact, I think Ruth cards have a way to go - how can a 1916 Ruth rookie, any grade, sell for less than a 1986 Michael Jordan “rookie” any grade, when there are likely more Jordan 10s than all Ruth rookies, regardless of back?
Pete, I think all Ruths are now expensive and will only get more expensive

Ryan—Look at the Gimbels 2 in HA versus the Herpolsheimer 2 in Clean Sweep. Compared to the Clean Sweep one the Gimbels was a poor result, especially considering the wider audience that HA has. Also, the stained overgraded 6 in HA didn’t open.
