Wow Scott! To be that close! How amazing...I’m sure you and pops wished you had raised that paddle a few more times (just in case the other bidder backed down)...

I know 10 different examples. About 15 years ago, it seemed like REA had one in every auction. I think that they had 4 different examples within a fairly short time span. REA noted that they are aware of an 11th example, but it was supposedly lost by its owner. Can you imagine?
It is my favorite card in the hobby. Last edited by Baseball Rarities; 02-20-2021 at 12:39 PM.

Scott, awesome story...thankfully I know that you and your dad raised the paddle higher on other gems.
 I also remember in the early 2000's, it did seem like REA had one every year (and T210 Jacksons). I think a BN Ruth would easily be in the $3-5M range today. Last edited by MVSNYC; 02-20-2021 at 09:19 AM.
