Ho. Lee. Crap!
The high dollar market is alive and well
That T206 auto Ty Cobb
PSA 9 Hank Aaron
PSA 10 53 Mays
PSA 10 Ryan rookie.
Ridiculous.

Amateur Question: they have an unopened 1950 Bowman pack that is Certified Authentic. What does that mean? I have only seen packs with grades on it. Does this mean the pack has been "searched" or something else?

It still means it's unopened, but no numerical grade was assigned.

"1968 Topps Nolan Ryan - Mets Rookie Stars #177 PSA Gem Mint 10. The biggest hobby story of 2016 is the surging market for elite rookie cards, a market at which Heritage finds itself proudly leading. In the first half of 2016, we have established new high-water marks for the Mantle and Mays rookies of the 1952 Topps issue at their respective grades, and the 1955 Topps Clemente at any level. It's a raging bull market we attribute to a flood of new money in the game, a factor that we expect will propel pricing superlatives for years to come."

You bet it is a game. At some point investors cash out. It will be interesting to watch when/if the bottom falls out of this market.

Seeing this auction makes me think I need to win the Lottery.....So much great looking eye candy and so much will be out of reach for us commoners.....

Nice to see the Gehrig rookie Exhibit so strong out of the box. There's a card that should explode in value. Though folks on this board have been saying that for a while.

That's one card I been wanting for a while too..When I saw it yesterday I WAS SHOCKED. really amazed at the 15K price already!!!!!!

Looks like the Gehrig is still going. 22.7k already. Nice to see. Unfortunately it looks like a 16 Ruth will be out of reach of a PSA 2 is now a 100k plus card.

Yeah, it would seem to make sense that Gehrig's rookie would follow in the heels of the M101-5/4 Ruth. They are probably comparable in rarity, in fact the Gehig might actually be a bit scarcer.

I love to bid early in these auctions. Then show my wife and scare her to death, when in reality, I likely have a better chance of winning powerball than winning anything at my bid levels. However, when I buy something later in the 500 to 1k range she actually feels relief and I avoid an a$$ chewing. Lol

PS - I hope I don't get caught someday as high bidder and forced to take out a second mortgage to cover purchasing something I was playing games on. Lol

I used to do the same thing on T206 Wagners: get in an early bid around $30 -40K. People would say to me "Be careful. What if you actually win?"

And I would say "If I get a Wagner for $30K I'll come up with it somehow. And it will be the best moment of my life."

I owned a raw NM-MT Gehrig, which turned out to be an SGC 6, bought from Mastro Auctions while on vacation in Mexico some 16 yrs ago. My guess is the Gehrig is somewhere closer to 10x-20x more rare than the Ruth. That's based on what I have seen, is only a guess, and your mileage may vary .

Leon, I remember that card and it was awesome!! Didn't an autograph version of his rookie card go for like 30k not too long ago? I completely agree with Kevin and others that the 1925 Exhibit of Gehrig is way under valued. Here is the scan of the Heritage Gehrig.

Leon - on a sheer "pop" basis (PSA & SGC), Gehrig rookie approx. 2.5X scarcer. If you take into account raw copies, I would guess 3-4X would be the number.
