poor 1933 goudey ruth opinion

[mrmopar]

A poor condition Ruth may sell in the $1200 range if it presents well. I have been watching the 181 over the last several months and poor copies routinely break $1K, but they look great for the grade. I don't know how well that version sells because I am not interested in it, but although I don't doubt someone would pay $100 for one that bad, I am not sure why. Isn't one of the allures of a baseball card the appearance? I suppose filling a hole for a set is one reason, but jeez...

My comment was made somewhat in jest as reprints routinely sell for a few hundred $.

There are different levels of PSA 1's. That being said, this card won't 1. It would set record low for "authentic" if it is real.

I trust the dealer I got it from 15 years ago.
PSA 0
goes for $1200 with 25 watching.
I will send to grading one day will show a lot nicer .
I have examined with my goudey cards and 100%.
$100? more like $750 but again not selling
happy easter

750 sounds pretty high to me in an authentic holder. 200-300 would be my guess. There is too much paper loss on the front for much more than that.

If you could get 200-300$ I'd take it and never look back.

Ok, how much for this authentic Ruth? It is obviously missing huge chunks and is actually in two pieces, but in my opinion it displays a lot nicer than the one posted. We all had a nice laugh when I have posted this in the past...it is not all about the money.

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

Agreed!! I was thinking $40 was too much!

That is staggeringly dumb.

That's a little harsh. If there is enough of the card left to grade I would send it in. I'm sure it's worth more graded as raw there is more of a question of authenticity.

Please. If you put garbage in a holder, it doesn't "show nicer" and it isn't "worth more".

I am really confused. You know this card is authentic, and you know what the card is worth. What would you like an opinion on?

[ullmandds]

all cards presented are nicer and more valuable than that of the op. just because the op purchased a likely authentic beat to piss goudey ruth years ago for likely a song...the op shouldn't take it as an insult...unless he purposely made the card this way...that this card is not very valuable.

it is what it is.

The guy who owns the $25 card in question here, and the guy that bought the $650 Ruth card with back damage on Ebay (2 threads above).........should get together and put BOTH cards in a holder back to back. Nice front, nice back. Problem solved! You're welcome....
