Felix Mendelsohn Babe Ruth SGC 70 on Ebay

[YankeeCollector]

Anyone here win this card? Is there any potential in this card? I was the underbidder and Im annoyed I didnt win this one.

Hard to say but I think it went a little low. I would expect it to be 10k+ in a good auction, not ebay. Just my opinion.....

I agree with Leon
That is an exceptional condition Ruth for the issue
Price was low, and the seller hurt himself by not having m101-6 in the title

I thought it went a little high.

Or maybe the lot of 37 that sold in Legendary last year went really low.

Or both.

How does everyone feel about the date on the flip, couldn't it be listed just as 1920 since it couldn't have been 1917, 1918 or 1919 with the Yankees designation on the card? When a T206 can be pinned down to a specific year based on manufaturer or factory number, the flip shows 1910, 1911, etc......

I didn't realize that any grading company took the time to place the correct year on the flip for a T206. I thought they used a generic year for all T206 cards. I guess I learned something new here.

Great card that the seller originally didn't realize what he had. He had originally mislabeled it as a Ruth Exhibit and was going to sell it starting at 0.01 with no reserve: Link. Cards like this are why people still scour ebay hoping for treasures.

I, and almost 200 others, were at the Net54baseball dinner the night of the Legendary Live Auction, which by the way might very well happen again in 2012, and when I heard what they went for, from a good friend and the person who won them, I almost couldn't believe it. They were absolutely a steal in that auction, imo. I think they went for a little over $400 each with huge HOF'ers included. Had I been in the audience they would have gone for more. But alas, I am glad the buyer got a steal as he's a good guy.

So, I discount that sale of Legendary's and was more thinking of other sales I have seen.
