Your card is an early Ruth and a unique image. Collectors love that your card is in his first year as a Yankee. I put a placeholder bid on it too, but quickly got overwhelmed. Saying that, I am very happy with this pickup. I missed out on this card ten years ago as the first underbidder when it was available in an REA auction. I've regretted it ever since and was always hoping that I would have another chance at it. So, this was definitely a successful auction for me.
