Ruth in Love of the Game Auction

The dips in the market are segmented. Mostly modern and especially with overprinted base cards. A lot of that money hasn't left the broader market though. It's been shifting into higher demand cards with lower populations. That's why we're seeing Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle cards continuing to rise despite other segments in the market declining. I think this trend will continue.

I don't follow Ruth but I'd say Mantles are down about 20% from their peak in April. And Mantles have held up pretty well, most 50s/60s cards are down more than that.
