It certainly has a chance to beat our record. We had a freshly graded (most cards we get in are raw and we grade them for the consignor) 1952 Berk Ross Mantle in PSA 8 that's an insane grade for that card and we've had a few 1952 Topps Mantles. We also brought to market the first (and still only) known example of a 1909 Rose Post Card Cy Young with the sticker added to cover the Boston AL since he had been traded to Cleveland. Again came to us raw. Now owned by a board member. Those are the ones that stick out. Oh and an autographed George Mikan Rookie I found in the bottom of a Tastee Kake box full of junk wax era baseball, not even in a sleeve on a house call.

The Ruth was just my advertising dollars at work. Consignor saw one of our print ads. It actually came graded from the original owner's family in Canada, so new to market one owner card. Believe it or not this card is their "test run" and if it goes well I will be getting some other amazing items.
