As a side question, I wonder how much someone would pay for my Diamond Stars Hornsby with the blank front?

Brian

Yea I agree that is much nicer because you can actually see the Babes face & body. I think the only way someone would buy that Hornsby would be to use it for some kind of shady purpose.

When I previously posted the Ruth, someone commented that they never knew the Babe had such an hourglass figure.

And scammers take note...the Hornsby is not for sale! The only shady purpose I intend for it involves using it as a coaster while resting in a hammock.

Didn't mean to insult. You implied it was a $750-$1200 card though. That is ludicrous.

I would love to some day add a Ruth to my '33 collection, and condition is not an issue for me. HOWEVER, I wouldn't go more than $25 for that filler.

I would extremely surprised, even if holdered, this card fetched more than $75.

This one recently sold on eBay for $650

It has a very nice front with a back that has been destroyed. Based on this and similar sales I don't think it is realistic to expect $750 or more for your example.

You are insane. At least you can see the front on that one. How many people only look at the backs of cards and completely ignore the front?? ZERO. At least on the other example you can see the front. If you were filling it pages of a binder, that slot would be filled, and you can SEE it is a Babe Ruth card. On the OP's example, I have no idea WHO it is!

As in the other mistake you made, is your name Billy? Now I see why you couldn't see a thread that was in front of your eyes for 4 days. No big deal but you either need to slow down or speed up or something. PS...I think the OPs card goes for $223.50 in auction (if it went to auction).

Not really a mistake. I never got emails. You said I got them. Well, I didn't. You said I did though, so I'll take the hit and say I got them. My mistake. You can call me Billy.

PS....put me down for $20 on the UNDER....as long as it is a legit auction with no shilling or anything nefarious going on.

So Richards name is now Billy? I guess my name is Stan and you can be Steve.

I never said you got emails, Bobby. I doubt you did (though from what I see on the board you might have missed them if they were in front of your face.) It's not a big deal I was just pointing out you don't tend to see things in front of you.
