If only those darn folks at Mastro during heated economic times could market like Goodwin in a down economy!

I think the fact that there is no sales history for this one contributed to keeping the price way down. Given the true rarity, the fantastic aesthetic and the fact that it depicts Babe Ruth, I expected it to go for multiples of what it closed at. It's possible that had I left a ceiling bid, it would have.
