6/28/10 Baltimore Sun Article: Who Is the Owner of this 1914 Ruth?

[53Browns]

It does seem appropriate that the rookie card of the greatest player to grace the game is now the pinnacle of the hobby. The card finally really gets its due.

It is a great card and my personal favorite, but I think that the T206 Wagner will always be the THE card in the hobby.

Anyone want to cut their losses and sell me their T206 Wagner before it "nose-dives" even more?

These ones sold for around $500 each:

$500 for decent commons seems way too cheap. How long ago were those sold?

I don't know. Probably a long time ago if its way too cheap.

a few random thoughts-

-the museum director said, he is "certain the man he spoke to is the owner of the card." ummm...IF they give up the card, they better MAKE SURE it is the correct owner, not just "certain". he might wanna look at his ID

-i'm wondering if the white baltimore jersey in the showcase is a replica, or if it's Babe's jersey...IF it's Babe's jersey, those guys would have a MUCH more valuable piece on their hands then the rookie card.
