1925 Gehrig Exhibit Card.

[Stampsfan]

I believe headlines cause folks to believe they too are holding million dollar cards. Here in Canada, where everyone collected hockey cards as a kid, the Gretzky cards are coming out of the basements. Friends, and friends of friends have contacted me about how to sell theirs.
I believe the market will get flooded with 80’s cards and people expecting to cash in. Coming to a card show near you will be an unlimited supply of VG-EX cards from the 80’s sitting on everyone’s tables, never to be moved.

Don't think that will be an issue with the '25 Exhibits Gehrig. Tho there will be a steady flow of counterfeits offered on eBay.

Last time I looked there were like 35 of these on SGC and PSA combined, and assuming some crossed over over the years the total out there may be closer to 25. Pretty amazing piece.

I just hope this sale pulls up my lowly 27 lol. Put passing on the 25 back in the day at or near the top of the regret list.

So Gehrig rookie sells for more than any Ruth card has sold publicly? Maybe I'm wrong but I don't recall a Ruth card selling publicly over 800k. Looks like Gehrig gets the sweet spot for a bit.

Yeah, was wondering about other late 20's Gehrig Exhibits. Your '27 should see a nice bump. And I think there are couple 1926-29 versions - probably go up as well. Not many of the Exhibits out for sale so hard to get a grasp on today's value. REA had several go off last year or so. But are even those prices accurate in todays market?

Two weeks ago I paid $1000 for a low-end 1928 Gehrig exhibit (PSA Auth.). I needed it to complete the set so I probably overpaid. But FOMO, you know. Plus how bad can I get hurt on a 1928 Gehrig? Rhetorical question, please don't tell me.😁

My SWAG is that the prices on the other 1920s Exhibits of Gehrig just doubled and that the Ruths will have to go up as well to keep pace. It is a fun time to own some of them...

The same exact card sold in Heritage in 2017 for $102k. That’s 8x appreciation in 3-4 years. That makes a ton of sense to me, considering PSA Jordan 10s have had a similar appreciation in the last 3-4 months; and there are likely (many) more PSA 10 Jordan’s than graded PSA and SGC Gehrigs.

It’s good to see the rare, blue chip classics get their due in this crazy ass, post Covid industry/hobby
