babe ruth & Lou gehrig dual auto help

[thecatspajamas]

Take what it would cost to buy the cut, add in the cost to have Leaf turn it into a card, and that's your value, because you could do the same thing yourself. You might have to wait until the next year to do so, since I think they have a limit on 1 of each signature or signature combo per year to maintain the "1 of 1" status, but it's not like this is the only Ruth/Gehrig cut that will find its way into a card ever. Based on what the others are saying, if you can get the cut for $7k, paying another $7k to have it in a card seems like a very high premium. Personally, I'd rather have two Ruth/Gehrig cuts than 1 in a card/slab

are thre any premium for the card since the signatures are in really nice condition? check this ruth gehrig cut on ebay seller is asking 27k for it and its just a cut by it self. here is the ebay link

I can ask $5000 for my SGC 10 Mantle, will I ever get it? No... But I can ask for that much...

[sportscollector]

whats the auto in the ebay auction worth?

[Sean1125]

There is one available for 1/3 of the price and it hasn't sold yet... I reaffirm that the earlier range of $6k-$8k is very reasonable.

thanks for the help sean. I think i rather have the 2012 leaf cut has better eye appeal then the other one dont like the third signature on the 2011. so if i can get the 2012 leaf cut ruth gehrig auto for 6 to 8k i will have paid a fair price?

[Sean1125]

I would say so... E-bay BIN's are always very high, I know mine are...

The sigs are bold but there's an obvious crease right through the middle of 'em. You could pick up a semi-beat-up-but-readable baseball signed by those guys for that price if you wait for the right auction.

I completely agree with Dan.... and would definitely rather hold out for a Ball. You could actually get a decent one at that price.

That crease would always bug me as well.

[HRBAKER]

IMO the seller did you a favor by turning down your offer.

And I wonder whose signature that is below Gehrig's, that was erased?

[sportscollector]

the seller never accepted my offer but what ever the case maybe with that card those auto's of ruth and gehrig are extremly nice and attractive. I wanted to get something like that and frame it with a 16x20 Ruth and Gehrig photo it would make a great display piece. I will keep searching until I find the right one

Patience will pay off for you and IMO get a vintage 8x10 rather than a modern 16x20 to frame it with.

Also, nice signature or not, I don't understand the need to get a cut mounted (framed) in a card when you're going to turn around and frame the card/cut again? It seems like you're complicating the framing process and adding additional expense to achieve the same end result?

great idea I will do that if and when i pick up a nice cut auto of ruth and gehrig. I have been looking for one for a while this one was one of the nicest auto's i have ever seen but i wont over pay.

The seller is ASKING,,,. Asking prices on ebay are MEANINGLESS. Completed sale prices are the only thing that matters.
Actually I like Shelly's idea, make your own.
