I was 3rd under bidder, I believe, in the MH auction on a really nice Goudey 144 in a 7. I think it went for around 165k after BP.
I think the '21 Exhibit is a great card too. I will have one someday and have bid on many. Classic also...
The 1917 Ruth cards are awesome. I wish I could afford one.

Here is an interesting question: #144 Goudey Ruth is likely more iconic a card and pose than the 1917 Ruth throwing cards. Would you rather spend $100k on a 1933 #144 Goudey Ruth (probably in a 7) or $100k on a 1917 Ruth (probably in a 1.5)?
Leon, its been a long day.... (long week actually)!
