However, you would be amazed about how untrue your statement above is. Certainly most Babe Ruth (or similar top HOF) auctions do not go under the radar. However, there are always a few listings every year that do go under the radar and don't get the eyes or attention they probably should have. Even this year, I've seen an SGC graded 1914 Cracker Jack Ty Cobb go well under the market rate because the seller did not have much feedback. (I think the graded was 4MC). I've won a few Babe Ruth strip cards on ebay myself this past year that probably should have went higher.
Attached is probably one of my best purchases via auction on ebay from a few years ago that probably also went under the radar.

Very cool card. The outing claim seems misplaced though. There was literally a news article on the auction. But more to the point, I think it’s good that it was shared with people that might be interested in it. Do I see your point though? Yes.
