Opinions on a transaction issue

Some collectors need to buy a 2006 Standard Catalog and thumb through it. You should know exactly what that set was, it is listed on page 130 in the 2006 Catalog at $4,000 NRMT for the "Beloved Baseball Idol of All Boys" card (Babe Ruth).

From the 1st time I ever saw these cards a few years back, they have stuck in my head because of the quoted value. I guess they do have the value as they all seem to sell for bigger $$ that Id ever expect from that issue. I have now seen 6 examples of the Ruth in auctions over the last 3 years. IMO...... totally Ugly cards, not too rare and way overpriced. Doesnt even say "Babe Ruth" on it, and made a couple years after Ruth hung them up. PS.Im repeating myself... We just had a message board post on these Donut Co. cards 1 week ago (last post Dec.27th). A Donut Co. Ruth just sold on eBay less than 2 weeks ago, and a golfer guy too.
