HA: Babe Ruth 1933 Goudey PSA/DNA

[milkit1]

As far as just signed is concerned the green is by far the rarest followed by the red. None that have the bottom hacked should go higher then a complete one.

Was hoping to get the trimmed one for half its price right now, I'm just shocked and sad how much it's going for...may have been my only shot to own a 'cheap' signed Ruth goudey

As an autograph guy, I would definitely pay the most for the yellow background card. It is the clearest signature, signed in a great spot, and overall displays the best of the three. Not sure if triple the other prices are warranted, however guessing that signed goudey Ruth cards don't come around all that often, a really nice one like the first will demand the most attention and because of that, the several serious bidders are having at it and ignoring the other two to a certain degree. Might have been a better move to only list one at auction at a time.

The yellow example is by far the best looking (boldest, cleanest, best placed sig) of these 3 signed cards. very visually appealing.


Just out of curiosity, how does the rarity of the Goudey Ruth's break down, when comparing one to the other (sans sigs)?

I am an autograph guy. I think everyone makes some good points, but I think some are overthinking it to a degree. I agree the overall eye appeal of the yellow card is superior, but I can't see eye appeal alone result in the 3x price difference between the yellow card and the others.

The 1933 Goudey set is collected by a large number of people. A group of those specialize in the signed set. I think the likelihood is that 2 or more people who are collecting the signed set are going head to head on this card. I've seen other signed Ruth's but not that one.

Just my 2c.

I know at least 4 other people who are most likely in a bidding war. There are plenty of signed Goudey Ruth's surprisingly

I'm not one of them. I'm happy with my one signed ruth. I'm currently at 180 different signed 33s but I will be surprised if I can secure anymore.
