I'll go ahead and say that is preposterous


"this same card was auctioned by Goldin just 6 months ago and sold for $510K with BP. "

You could be right. We are just putting our Guess in.

What is your thoughts for a price?

I'd say looking at the overall outlook of the economy as a whole, it should sell for LESS than 6 months ago! The easy money is gone, modern market continues to fall apart.

Punching well above my weight, but I wont care to believe the final result anyhow. This was a 20k card in 2010, but alas, it is a Ruth RC.

Just think about 20k to 3/4 of a million bucks in 10 years. It makes no sense to this pauper.

Sense and this hobby often have a weak relationship, or none at all.

I’ll guess at a cool million for this one when all is said and done.

Closed for $510k. Same exact price as last time it sold.

Same question as Jeff. Rather than just putting down other people's guesses, what is yours then? Based on your points, I'm assuming you feel it will come in at less than the $510K sale from 6 month ago? As someone else previously noted, it is already at $400K, before the BP, with 13 days to go yet. So what is your guess as to the final price, including BP? My guess was to be inclusive of the final BP, since that becomes part of what the buyer actually ends up having to pay.

With it being at $480k with BP 1 more bid will match the $510k sale 6 months ago(the bids are in increments of $30k with BP right now. So the 2nd bid will top it.

580k-620k.

I hope more for selfish reasons.

An amazing two sets between the M101-5 and -4's--which I hope gets more recognition with the notoriety of the Ruth Rookie.

I have to agree with Connor. I was thinking in the $600K - $650K range. A Ruth rookie in any grade hasn’t surfaced n a while, and this PSA 4 example will reap the benefits of high-end collectors chomping at the bit to purchase one.

Well duh???? Guessing it will "pop" up again in yet another auctions house like a game of hot potato. This was a 30k card not that long ago.

Guess People just figured out it is a ruth rookie.

Calling the top...

[mrreality68]

Still a good price considering the price growth shows the price is stable/strong but I agree they should not have attempted to buy it and try and flip I right away.

Good looking card for someone’s collection if it is for a collector
