If a Wagner psa 1 is $400k then a Ruth rookie 5.5 for south of $300k seems low in comparison. Imo.

It is my understanding the back doesn't really change the value of the card much. And yes the price certainly has gone crazy the last couple of years. My thought is the market is finally catching up to what that card should have been worth all along. A rare rookie card of the greatest player of all time should be the most desirable card in the hobby.

Also when people start to get worried about the cardmarket as a whole they jump onto the 'waterside' cards for safe investments.

Jake likes to compare "big" cards to waterfront property.

I am fine with the "across the street" properties but only if they have a nice view.

Thought it went really cheap. A PSA 4 just sold for 288k in Heritage recently. Wait until the REA PSA 5 goes this month!

At some point the card could come back down to earth too. It's not like they are hard to find or rare, they are just expensive .... I thought the price was about right, not that I play in that stratosphere.

I agree with Leon. It's just another hyped card. If attitudes change that card could easily halve in value.
