I just read in Waite Hoyt's "Babe Ruth As I Knew Him", and he did know him and served as a pall bearer at his funeral, that Babe Ruth autographed an estimated 1 million baseballs during his playing career and thereafter. He also personalized untold numbers of photos, etc. They are not scarce.
According to allvintagecards.com, there are literally thousands of each of the four 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth cards in existence. They are, relatively speaking, not scarce. Why, then, the meteoric rise in value? I paid $500 in 1988 for my 1934-39 William Harridge OAL ball signed by Babe Ruth, authenticated by Harvey Brandwein. This ball is now worth thousands. Why?
