1921 Exhibits Geo. H. "Babe" Ruth

Yes, I am not sending the card off. I am going to get an on site encapsulation and grading service done at the show.

If the card does grade a PSA 6 (which I believe would be the highest graded specimen out there) then yes, I am putting an immediate value on the card. This is a "what if" scenario but I am very comfortable and confident in it.

I'm not really trying to get ahead of myself. Just going off of comparables. If one with mold spots can grade a PSA 4 lol, then this should be at least a 6.

Not really looking for critics on this one.

I respect each person's individual opinion and right to have one. But if you have anything negative to say or you are not interested then please do not judge or throw your "2 cents in".

I also do retract one of my previous statements. I did find a PSA 6 (but it does have significant paper loss)

I have shown images of both the PSA 4 with mold spots
And also a PSA 6 with 2 spots of paper loss

Who knows, I guess we will see tomorrow!

Don't know why the spotting on this card seems so much more prominent than other 1921 Exhibits. I have three White Sox from 21 and they have none of browning seen on many Ruth cards.

Good luck with the grading, from my experience new submitters don't usually far well. Also that 4 is really weak, here is mine which I felt should have graded higher-

This is a beautiful card but I concur with that. Old grades and new grades are apples and oranges.
I'm thinking a 3.5, and no higher than 5

That's a cool looking card. Good luck with the grading. I hope it works out nicely for ya

Kinda tough to get a good visual fix on top corners. Is back honestly clean? Seems a minor tad of yellowing around perimeter and light stain smudge middle left side, but not sure. Good luck - keep your fingers crossed for a "5" - not out of the question. You gotta play the game to get the reward - a "5" would be super cool and maybe turn into a cornerstone card for your collection.

+1 there. I certainly wouldn't trade my PSA VG for it, which is clean.
