Setting a price on those 1920s Ruth Exhibit cards is always a bit of a stretch because there are not many that come to market. Forget the nearly impossible 1923-24, which I think would be the second costliest Exhibit behind the Gehrig RC if one comes to market, just about any of the Ruth cards is on a rocket ride. I am really curious to see where the Ruth-Snookums closes is Memory Lane this weekend; that card is rare as hell (per ML, six graded examples). I don't think I am letting the cat out of the bag since it is already at $8500 (with vig) and has a dozen bids. I'd not be surprised to see it close above $20K. Not my card, in case you are wondering.
