Hi Kevin- I trust your recollection but was the Baltimore News Ruth considered his rookie card back in the early days of the hobby? I think there was a time when it sold for less than the M101-4/5, so at the very least it was perceived in some way differently than it is today.
The first of the four or five examples that REA sold belonged to a west coast collector. I was speaking to a mutual friend who said that when the consignor purchased it in the 1980's he had no idea what it was, and that he paid a minimal price for it (I think a few hundred dollars). It was not presented to him as a Babe Ruth rookie card. So that anecdote got me thinking that there was a different perception back then. Can you recall any specific transaction from the 1980's, and if so how the card was presented?
