Kind of stiff to pay $10,000 for a card you only bid $4900 for... ;-) That's one steep buyers premium. (Just kidding.) Maybe he thinks that it's a steal.

umm, am i'm missing something? You do realize that the $5635 is the total amount of the bid and buyers premium combined right? ($4900 + 15% buyers premium). It's not just the buyers premium.

John (hi John) was joking about the way Ron phrased his sentence.

Sam, you are a funny dude. Yes, obviously that was the TOTAL of hammer price plus BP. I still think that is cheap for a really nice image of Ruth, in high grade (only 3 higher on psa), of a relatively tough playing-era ruth. There are a total of 64 graded between psa and sgc. In contrast, there are probably 64 Goudey Ruths currently on eBay. There aren't many nice 20's Ruth cards, but this throwing pose is a is as nice as there is in a 20's Ruth. I will never understand what makes some cards ultra expensive, while other nicer, more rare ones remain reasonably priced and less coveted. For the record, I only compared to Goudey in population, not in importance or reason for value.

I feel like the cool kids are in on a secret, and I'm left out.

No. He posted because he was confused. I shifted the conversation to the card's relative value since the topic interests me, and the original post is moot.

So I phrased a sentence wrong and being 1.5 months late after the auction, so what. Priceless bought this in 1980 for $20.00, the card having a apostrophe before the number and the extra Babe Ruth sentence on the reverse. I guess it would be a variation that the grading companies don't recognize

It is a recognized variation, but you are right, companies don't specify on the slab or in pop reports.

Ron, I see an apostrophe before the card number, not a hyphen.
