The price on the blank backed 1926-29 Ruth Exhibits was insane. I thought the price was already crazy when it was $14K before extended bidding, and then the price doubled! I get that blanked backed are much tougher than the postcard-backed and this was the best looking one out there, but $30K, really? I really hope that this is not the new normal, and just an outlier because the card was blank backed. Otherwise, it'll be a really hard to pick up more of these cards.

I was the 1st or 2nd underbidder on the c1915 and 1922 Ruth cards. I tried hard, but obviously someone wanted it more. Both of those cards only have a known pop of 1 or 2 with a unique Ruth image, I believe, so I understand the price there better (obviously).
