SMR for PSA 4 is $47,500 so the Ruth PSA 4 rookie is more than triple SMR!

That card makes me sad. Back around 2011, that same card was on ebay starting at 99 cents with a $15K reserve and a $25K BIN. I never hit the BIN. I thought I could perhaps win it for around $20K. Tony eTrade actually ended up winning that card for around $28K, and I remember knocking him on the PSA board saying if he were willing to bid up to $28K, he should have just hit the BIN button. (The BIN disappears once the reserve price is met.) Link. I think he (or someone who bought the card from him) ended up selling the card on Goodwin for a little under 50K later. Link. I was always wishy washy on that card because of the staining on the back, and thought it didn't deserve the 4 grade. Of course, now I wish I knew better then.
