... but how did that pull an SGC 3 grade?

11.7 mill is my guess

$9.6 million including the buyer's premium

My guess: 8.5 before juice

Maybe '3 VG' stands for 3 very good corners?
Looks like this was the Collectable.com card valued at $8.83mm when partially re-purchased by the owner in 2021? Unless I'm missing something. Dream card. I’ll go with a $4.3mm value, economy and rates being where they are. https://collectable.com/offerings/ba...sgc-3-buy-out/ Last edited by slightlyrounded; 11-06-2023 at 01:47 PM. |

That's a 2, or 1.5 all day...but in the end with it being such a rare and amazing card, it's somewhat irrelevant (at least to me).
I'll go $13.7M after the juice is applied. Bill

I believe this was the card that was fractionalized.

I guess $14.5MM.
Leon, please start a Net54 Go Fund Me for fractional ownership! ![]() I think this will surpass the $12.6MM 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle SGC 9.5 ‘Finest Example Known’. And in the not far distant future, 1 of the 3 PSA 10 1952 Topps Micks will hit the auction block for $30MM, to then surpass this Ruth Rookie. Last edited by brunswickreeves; 11-06-2023 at 01:21 PM. |

My only question is if someone is willing to pay $10 million now why wouldn’t they have approached the Babe Ruth Museum when the card was available for a lot less. Amongst people in the know I doubt it was a mystery that the card was available.

Because they already have one…or two?

I am in the minority, but I think it is accurately graded.

Not when they are giving NM/MT cards 4s.

I don't agree, just based on my "days of yore" grading. In the way back when days, a card with multiple creases that broke the paper, would be a GD card. TPGs have made it even harsher than that, so I don't see how this could have ever received a 3 grade. As a raw kind of guy, it would be a raw 2 in my book. And I would expect at least one number less from a TPG.

I see this card as a 1.5, at best, by today's standards.
