1921 Exhibits Geo. H. "Babe" Ruth

[cuso8918]

Hey Fellas:
Not sure how many people are going to The National in NJ. But I will be bringing my Ruth exhibit card to the show to get graded and sell. After seeing some previous examples that had mold on them grade a 4 and another with water stains grade a 3.5, I dont want to assume, but I am very comfortable saying that this one should grade AT LEAST a 5.5 or 6. I believe 6 would be the highest ever grade and I am fairly confident it should garner and deserve that grade.
Pricing will obviously depend on grade-however if it does come back a 6 ; I am going to be very firm and ask around $9-$10k...if thats not in your wheelhouse, then thats perfectly fine, no harm no foul.
If anyone is interested please send me an email and we can get in touch before and after to work something out.

Thanks

..if I understand your post , you are having immediate on-site PSA grading of a card with a declared value of nine thousand ?
..any ballpark rough estimate of what PSA might charge for a service like that ?
..good luck with it...
.could you please share a pre-slabbed scan with us if you get the chance ? ; that's an awesome card.

..Thanks

Yes, I am not sending the card off. I am going to get an on site encapsulation and grading service done at the show.

If the card does grade a PSA 6 (which I believe would be the highest graded specimen out there) then yes, I am putting an immediate value on the card. This is a "what if" scenario but I am very comfortable and confident in it.

I'm not really trying to get ahead of myself. Just going off of comparables. If one with mold spots can grade a PSA 4 lol, then this should be at least a 6.

Not really looking for critics on this one.

I respect each person's individual opinion and right to have one. But if you have anything negative to say or you are not interested then please do not judge or throw your "2 cents in".

I also do retract one of my previous statements. I did find a PSA 6 (but it does have significant paper loss)

I have shown images of both the PSA 4 with mold spots
And also a PSA 6 with 2 spots of paper loss

Who knows, I guess we will see tomorrow!

Don't know why the spotting on this card seems so much more prominent than other 1921 Exhibits. I have three White Sox from 21 and they have none of browning seen on many Ruth cards.

Good luck with the grading, from my experience new submitters don't usually far well. Also that 4 is really weak, here is mine which I felt should have graded higher-

+1 there. I certainly wouldn't trade my PSA VG for it, which is clean.
