Sanella Ruth... am I missing something here?

As other Ruth card spoke in prices ie the exhibit Ruth Cards collectors that are being priced out but want Ruth cards are going to other cards that are affordable which then increases the demand and drives up prices.

These international cards are undervalued compared to others so these are the ones that demand is starting to pick up in

I really like the Sanella Ruth cards. To me they're much more attractive than his Goudeys.

If you're looking for a bargain on these, you can often find them for sale in the Sanella album on the German Ebay site. (Google translate is your friend) Assuming your comfortable soaking the card away from the album page, you could easily pickup a Sanella Ruth that would grade a 4 or a 5 for $200-300.

If you were really lucky you might end up with a type 3...but more than likely a type 2.

I am always amazed that so many Sanella cards survived the WWII fire bombing of German cities. However, I don't see a similar rise in value for the Japanese catcher, the only other baseball player in the set.
