Like to me this card where Ruth looks like he is a cartoon in prison went for $28k.
Unique for the Grade” & the Finest 1933 R337 Eclipse Import #402 Babe Ruth PSA 7 NM – “Pop 1” & the Highest Graded Example for ALL 24 SUBJECTS on the Combined PSA & SGC “Pop” Charts!
On the flip side I thought who ever won the Felix Mendelssohn Ruth for $43k did really good. I thought the price was light.
The 2 1926-29 Ruth Exhibit Postcards 1 went for less then 5k and 1 less then $4k. I think those buyers did well also.
The Goudey Ruth’s and the 1921 and e121 Ruth’s throwing pose seem to go for strong prices.
The 1922 w575-1 Ruth throwing pose seemed to go for less than I thought it should have
Then there was the 1933 Cigar Ruth and the 1922 e121 photo montage Ruth I believe those went for about the right price

I was bidding on several of those Ruths. The 1922 w575 I would have much a much stronger play for had I not spent the same amount on the Michael Jordan/Lebron James dual auto card. Had someone bid me off of that card, I was planning to win that Ruth. It was still quite a bit lower than I would have gone on it. I pegged it in the $45k-$60k range value-wise. And yes, I thought that Felix Mendelssohn Ruth went cheap as well. I felt under bankrolled and underprepared for this auction. I think there were a lot of opportunities missed in this one.
