Andrew, I think it could easily be a $2M+ card
Now, how much of the Babe Ruth BN market is further constrained because (multiple) owners of the card own multiple examples each. I know at least one or two own both a red and blue. Do any of the current owners own two of one color? At this point, Andrew, money is unlikely to be a motivator for any of the current owners I think. That is, unless it's a trade for a LeBron James patch card auto! |

Marc, I agree with all of your statements except one - I think it is a $5mm+ card.

I agree. That card should go for well over a million. Interesting fact I don't think any Babe Ruth card has publicly sold for over a million dollars yet.

I agree with Ryan. I think a PSA 1 could sell for $5 million. The higher grade copies might approach $10 million. It is the number one card in the hobby, but we probably will never know. I don’t see any copies voluntarily coming out any time soon.

I agree that it's the #1 card in the hobby. I'd take one over a Wagner any day, all day.

There are 10 copies known. Best card in the hobby IMO. 2million to priceless. Go find another one and its the babe as a slender babe. 5 plus million would not surprise me if it was without major defect.

It is so hard to figure the value on a rare card that only goes for sale once once in a blue moon. If had to guess, The 1914 B.News Ruth doubt less than $5.Million - in todays market which is bonkers. Could go $10.M wouldn't surprise me.
Many of us here have 1 of 1, and 1 of less than 10 of some pretty decent stuff. How do we determine value in todays market? You could list it at first impression an obscene amount, might sell very quickly, could be leaving money on the table. Who knows. I guess consigning to a big auction (REA/Heritage) would be best bet, let the market decide. |

It's comical to see price fluctuations of some cards on ebay...$5K this week...50K a week later asking prices. Prices change exponentially on any given day for no apparent reason. Always best to start high...you can't go back up!!!!! Considering churchmans...shonens...and even sanellas are commanding decent coin these days and are starting to disappear into collections...soon there will be no available playing day ruth cards on ebay at any given time...kinda like once plentiful t206 cobbs and goudey ruths were a dime a dozen. Balt news ruth would sell 5-10 mill imo. Last edited by ullmandds; 02-19-2021 at 04:47 PM. |

Does anyone know - or care to hazard a guess as to - the number of examples that exist?

The owners of these cards aren't hurting for money and don't have interest in flipping it seems.

Who knows? In my opinion, the Baltimore News Ruth SHOULD be the most valuable card in existence. To me it's many many multiples more valuable than a 4 million dollar Trout 1/1 RC.

I agree The BN Ruth is the #2 card in the hobby after the t206 Wagner.

Spot on accurate Ryan. There are a bunch of white whales “chomping at the bit” to buy a Baltimore News Ruth. Problem is, none of the 10 known copies are available. I also believe a “1” would fetch at least $5mm….maybe a bit more in an intense bidding war.
