yup! ruth items dominate the top priced lots. i can't believe there are those who'd pay more for a psa 10 henderson rookie...than a ruth bat...ot a myriad of other incredible items.

I agree Pete! Seems crazy to me. I guess it's all about the PSA registry to some people.

The same Ruth sold for about $46K in Goodwin back in 2014, then flipped for $53K a year later. Nice ROI for that 2015 buyer, if he's the consignor in REA.

True. Two have fetched over $200K since 2016.

Oops, my bad. Those were not blank backs (TSN and Standard Biscuit).

A PSA 4 sold in Heritage for $288K earlier this year, and this same 4 (w/the blue stained back) previously sold in REA for $156K in May 2016. No secrets on this card’s steady climb.

Actually looks like they’re going down price-wise if the latest REA example doesn’t see more action. Moreso if it didn’t actually sell last time at REA.

Yes and no. IMO, a blank back will and should always fetch less money than a card with an advertising reverse, at least in similar grades, as blanks are far more plentiful. The two Ruths that went for over $200K since 2016 both had ad backs.

I agree with this.

So the final hammer price on the 4 was less than the last time it sold at REA, and well below the 200k-level that others (with different backs) commanded earlier. Seems like a softening.
