Thanks for posting. Anyone know what Babe Ruth card is the one left of the upper center sanella in that Babe Ruth case?

I wonder if finds like that with precious metals hurt the value of them like it would with ball cards. Of course I am not talking a find of rare backs or obscure series.

Are you referring to the topps comic book foldees Ruth?

Probably not. There's just not that much gold out there.

Here's an interesting article

I dabble a tiny bit in metal as I was a coin collector as a boy. I generally give a current year Silver Eagle to anyone I know who has a baby.

I am not about to go deep into metal...it's just a fun thing, but if I were, palladium would be my choice.
