Sterling Sports Auctions #101 Is Open For Bidding!!!

[Exhibitman]

Not only were many prices strong, when I checked last night there was one (1) passed lot. That's amazing and a sign of a rabid market.

With the 1926 Exhibit Ruth SGC 40 going for $12,600 on top of the other recent results for Ruth cards, looks like we've entered the era of five-figure Ruth Exhibit cards. Are Cobb and Gehrig soon to follow?

All i wanna know, is who outbid me on the UNC-Big Head Schange???
It was in very rough shape, did not expect any action on it.

Woke up this morning to find out I lost two lots in extended bidding - well after I had gone to sleep for the night.

Looking forward to getting the couple of lots I did win.

Hey Chris,

Sorry I outbid you on the Schange, but I was immediately outbid as well. Thanks for getting back to me regarding final price for that one.

Scott,

Remember to get one bid in when the auction opens. This gets you into extended bidding and you can bid on any lot at that time.

As far as the Big Head Schang. It was only one of five lots that did not get a bid in the previous auction and ended up going for more then the opening bid in the previous auction. You just never know from auction to auction what people are interested.

Thanks Everyone,

Lee

That Ruth Exhibit card is just about the highest price for that card, in a close grade, that I can remember. I invested in the wrong things! (actually, I don't invest, I collect and hopefully they get more valuable)

Setting a price on those 1920s Ruth Exhibit cards is always a bit of a stretch because there are not many that come to market. Forget the nearly impossible 1923-24, which I think would be the second costliest Exhibit behind the Gehrig RC if one comes to market, just about any of the Ruth cards is on a rocket ride. I am really curious to see where the Ruth-Snookums closes is Memory Lane this weekend; that card is rare as hell (per ML, six graded examples). I don't think I am letting the cat out of the bag since it is already at $8500 (with vig) and has a dozen bids. I'd not be surprised to see it close above $20K. Not my card, in case you are wondering.

I believe Cobb popped already with the T206 spike. Possibly more room to grow as well as Ruth. Gehrig surprisingly has lagged and is just now starting to see that rocket take off. Kinda messed up Mantle, Aaron, and Mays spiked before Gehrig. I believe Gehrig is going to surprise the hobby and eat Ruth and Cobb up as people realize more and more the scarcity of Gehrig compared to the others mentioned.

I wasn't clear: I meant their Exhibit cards. I think Cobb is still a good buy in Exhibits.

FWIW, there has been a surge of sales on my Exhibit book the last few months, so I am thinking that there is a surge of interest in Exhibit cards.
