The end result is what matters it beat the T206 Wagner and that is that...final results are very much real in life!!! Like it or not the reality is that the Ruth is now the most expensive card EVER sold in a PSA 1 no matter how the bidding went!!!

I know for some it is a SHOCK that the T206 Wagner is now # 2 but it is what it is!!! Rarely in reality does something always stay # 1 for ever.

And one day most likely the most expensive card in the world will be the 52 Topps Mantle in PSA 10 why you ask simple it DOES exist in that grade not like the 2 other cards mentioned here. I am pretty in say 15 years it will be the new # 1 unless a new high grade of either the Ruth or Wagner is discovered that has not been altered in any way.

There are more examples of "everything else in the world", so you've got more data to go on.
