M101 Ruth and CJ Jacksons in MH - Over/Under

[oldjudge]

$428k for an off center blank back M101-4 Ruth tells me all is well in the Ruth market. I find the Gimbels Jackson interesting. Amongst ad backs, Gimbels is one of the more common for Jackson. I wonder what a rare Jackson ad back would have sold for. More generally, I view the M101-4/5's as sets that are just starting to come into their own. Just like T206s, I see M101-4/5 rare front back combinations exploding in value. It's such a great set with not just the Ruth rookie but a fantastic representation of other HOFers and stars. Backs such as Mail Theatre, Everybody's, Block & Kuhl, Wares, Holmes to Homes, Successful Farming and some Gimbels straight letter variations are incredibly rare and have yet to be valued appropriately. Plus, I love the actual photographic images rather than lithographs.
