These prices shocked me:

Jeff:

It’s 1915. I bought it back in 2008 in a Leland’s auction, where it appeared along with several other Red Sox player postcards from the same spring training. As I recall, one or two of them were not with the Red Sox in 1916. I brought the postcard to SGC during my lunch hour at work and provided them with my documentation that it should be dated 1915. I left an hour later with the postcard in an SGC 50 (4) holder.

To the best of my knowledge, there is zero documentation definitively supporting either 1915, 1916 or 1917. I have owned 2 of these Ruth’s. Myself & many advanced hobbyists have relentlessly attempted to dig up a definitive date with no success. This included reaching out to the Arkansas Historical Society as well as attempting to match up Ruth’s facial features and uniform to a specific year. Cannot be later than 1917 because one of the postcards is Hick Cady who left Boston early in the 1917 campaign. The EXACT year remains a black hole which is why SGC labeled them “circa” 1915 that typically spans several years.

Phil - If you can remember the player postcards who were not with Boston in 1916, that would truly be the missing piece to this puzzle.

Lucky if I can remember to take all my meds twice a day. No idea at this point. Maybe the old auction catalogue from Leland’s would be a better shot. I know SGC is/was very tough about putting a date on something without definitive proof.

Goldin got a ridiculous bid amount on the Reccius Wagner a year ago and we all know that the 1897-99 dating on the PSA holder is bogus. If PSA/SGC says that it is so, it must be so. BTW I don’t think that Wagner actually sold either.

If you have proof that it's 1915 then someone got a steal, that one sale doesn't mean the team postcard is overpriced though.

The 1915 photo with Ruth and fellow pitchers sold for about what was expected as well. RMY sold another for $78k in 2022 and was slightly more than it sold privately a couple years ago.

I was bidding on the 1922 Pie Tranor.....lost out. Is Goldin's extended bidding a lot shorter than REA, Love of the Game, etc? I put in a bid, was winning shortly before the period for initial bids ran out.....then I stepped away for a few hours, figuring that with extended bidding, it will go on forever....and then I checked back and it was sold. This was my first time bidding with Goldin.

Half hour clock starting at 10 PM EST, lot by lot basis.

I have been looking for a Cracker Jack Tesreau for quite some time now, so when I saw the ‘15 Tesreau in the recent Goldin auction, I put on a max bid and crossed my fingers. To my delight last night , I got it below my max bid, in fact, no one bid on it all day yesterday, including OT bidding.
I know this is a small potatoes card compared to the above discussions, but it was a big deal for me. I’m two cards away from having 50 CJ’s in my collection and recently was able to add the 1915 Cracker Jack Album. Wagner and Jackson probably won’t ever be in my collection, but I’m enjoying moving forward with the ones I can afford. Of all the cards, the Cracker Jacks are my favorite , especially since they include the Federal League as well. Happy Collecting All!

So are we just ignoring the Mike Ditka rookie that sold for $207k?

Lol. I didn’t know what to say, was going to post about it. I guess two people badly wanted the “bragging rights” to it? Good luck on the resale someday. But i guess that doesn’t matter.
