Chi-Town is still a toss up for us at this point David. Yes, it’s been a long time my friend.

The Ruth exhibits in general have done well I think... I wish I had bought them when it was very affordable. I remember this portrait version going pretty cheap at post card shows... I'm happy to own this one as is... Ricky Y

In my opinion, the Ruth Exhibits are his most attractive cards. They are also far more rare than the Goudeys and American Caramel, and pre-date them by several years. Not to mention, they are actual photos, rather than artists renderings. I think in the end it comes down to collectors being hesitant to accept oversized cards. This has changed a great deal over the past few years, starting with the explosion of the 25 Gehrig. But these cards have a lot of room to grow as the hobby slowly accepts oversized cards.

Noticed over the years that this card seems prone to a lot of browning in the upper corners. A non starter for me if its bad. The examples above are beautiful.

3 cards I regret not buy 5 years ago in great condition when they were much more affordable:

1921 Ruth Exhibits

1932 Gehrig US Caramel

Jackie Bond Bread portrait

Me too though that US Caramel wasn't one on my list....the other 2 would have been nice to pick up a few years ago. I really like the '21 Exhibit.

I'd add the Gehrig Exhibit rookie to that list.

Hey David M....please get to the Natty!

The 1921 got some love in REA: SGC 1.5 $2,700. Last year you could get a PSA 3 for the price

The Bond Robinson in a PSA 1 went for $1,440.

Both quite reasonable, if you think about them in context. An early Ruth and a RC of Jackie Robinson.
