1933 Goudey Ruth #144 or 1921 Exhibit Ruth?

[pawpawdiv9]

must be Pete--- i went to sleep at 6pm EST and it was at 1500 or so (me as high bid)
things got crazy near the 10 pm close time. Can't believe it went for 5K+ WOW! and it was just the top card portion, not the whole thing.
But i been told if i see something unique like that to bid on it! Most likely i wont see another in a long time.
As far the Exhibits cards, i never really bit the bullet on these things. I guess its more a post card thing and oversized. I missed the boat on the Gehrig of course. I had 707sportscards on Ebay and had offer near the 4k price he had on Ebay. Still look back on it.
Dont get me wrong guys, i do like the images of Ruth as well. More in favor of the batting pose. And always loved the red Goudey too!

Every once in a while an item will slip through the cracks for me. The 1925 Novelty Yankees team yesterday sure slipped through. I somehow missed it. Anyway, congrats to whoever won it.

Sorry that was me on both the 1928 Ruth and the 1925 Ruth.

I paid up to get what I wanted/needed for my collection. I thought the prices were a bit strong but it is Ruth But it is what the market wanted because I know several other bidders were bidding with me until I was the lucky one

I liked the look, I liked the rarity, it helps my goal of trying to get 1 card from each year Ruth played(working on the 20's now), and I like the poses.

Nice pick ups Jeff! Now I see the full picture - you get 3 Ruth’s, I get a rare Wagner, and Goldin/Consignor are happy. I like our deal even better now. Well done!

Congrats Jeff, I was in strong on the e121 ball in hand from Goldin, hated to lose it but I unfortunately came in second on that one. Beautiful cards!

Nice pickups, Jeff. I also want to do a Ruth run from each of his playing days years, but the Boston days are holding me back.

That's for damn sure. I think I have one that might be a Boston Ruth. I mean, it shows him in a Boston uni but might've been made a season or two later.

It's an interesting run to go after. I've thought of doing an Exhibit run but the 1923 is the 800# gorilla of that effort.

me too...going for a 20's-end of career ruth run...the boston era is way out of reach and will always be deficient in my collection.

I'm just happy to have a few crappy strips of the babe in a boston uni!!!!

Thanks appreciated everyone

and I am not saying it will be easy just that it is my goal. And at Ruthian Prices it will take a while.

just saw a really nice PSA 3 Exhibit Ruth ending in PWCC Premiere auction soon. Unfortunately for me now is not the time but seems like a great buy currently sitting at $15600
