So you have $300,000 burning a hole in your pocket

Do you think all the dads were in a tiff when Ruth came along? Did they all light pipes and talk about Roger Connor while their kids wasted money buying packs of gum instead of cigarettes?

Wasn't there a scene in either Pride of the Yankees or The Babe Ruth Story where a kid has his cards and wants to get in a pickup game and gives his cards to the other kid in order to play, and the kid says "you can keep the Ruth, he's a rookie."

Imo, this is the best use of $300,000.

I'd sell a kidney and then buy the Del Monte note (OF COURSE):

Nevermind. It sold half a mil. Jeepers.

Looks like 300k won't be enough for either option, but I would obviously go for the second like everyone else here. Were I actually spending it I would try to find a nicer looking 16 Ruth

Not sure what the Gehrig closed at, but was over $700,000 with the juice I think when I passed out.

These days...for 300K...maybe a PSA 10 George Brett Rookie?

I laughed too hard at this.

I guess I cannot play this game. I only have $3.00 burning a hole in my pocket to spend. So, A box of 1988 Donruss or a box of 1988 Topps? Tough choice.........

Not sure you can even do that with $3 anymore.

You forgot option 3 - light the $3 on fire. Less environmental impact than the inevitable burning of the 88 donruss.

You must be crazy. You'd miss out on a potential Sam Horn rookie! He's going to be a star...

I own versions of these two cards and I would flat out decline any offer for $300k; I would probably reject $400k. So, to be able to buy them both at $300k is a no brainer. And BTW, the Ruth and Gehrig on Goldin are, together, already above $340k with buyers premium, so option B is not a realistic option.

The only way that sort of money is showing up is when my life insurance shows up and I'm cold and buried.
