Interesting, I have always associate Bonham's with fine art. They are an old British auction house, a big player in the art, furniture scene, a la Phillips, Christie's, Sotheby's. Looking online, I guess they do have a sports collectibles division.

Sports division or not, if you’re an art and antique house and somebody offers you a Million$ plus item and you have a 28% vig, you’re not going to say no, bring it to those guys down the street. You’re going to figure out how to sell it.

In the end, they’re all just “Antiquities”.

If I was the consignor I might have suggested that they advertise in the appropriate venues. Just a crazy thought.

Bonhams has included it in their fine books & manuscripts auction, with an estimated value of $250K-500K, and current bidding at $320K. The estimate does sound low and burying the card in a books & manuscripts auction without any promotion to sports collectors does not seem like the best way to get full value for the card.

Default Ruth

Who knows, maybe they want to be in the business of auctioneering a major card or two from time to time. No better way than to get a solid price for a nice M101 rare-back Ruth. My guess is they know the consigner and someone who will pay the fair market value. Could be a “if you sell it right, more will come” type approach. Regardless, the company can’t really lose with that buyers premium.
