Exhibit Experts - Babe Ruth

[glchen]

Thanks, Scott. That's what I figured.

This is probably more of a general Exhibits question, but are there any color tints that are tough? I think this mostly pertains to the 1926-29 Exhibits, but I think some of the 4 in 1's have different color tints also.

On most prized Ruth Exhibits, my list would be (I still need two of them)-

1- 1923-24
2- 1929-30 4 on 1 with 2 boxers
3- tie 1926 and 1931-32 Prize- In Suit

Now most popular would be a lot different as you rarely see the ones above, I would put that more like-

1- 1921 (great pose)
2- 1926-29 Portrait (great photo)
3- 1926-29 Follow Thru (action shot)
4- 1935 4 on 1

These really are the 3 easiest Ruth exhibits to find too, lots out there.

On colors, the 1926-29 has a lot and some are a lot harder than others, like orange and red are very tough. The 1929-30 has the most colors combos of all the exhibits and some of them are nearly impossible to find. On all the color sets the black and white are the most common.

and then there is this.... (no, not the quarter)

Anyone think Lot 96: 1931-32 Four-on-One Exhibits Complete set in the Legendary auction went high? I realize it's a rare set, but nearly 18K including BP?

[Exhibitman]

Not really. It isn't easy to put one together.

The exhibits seem to be getting some respect generally in this auction, though there are a few relative bargains still out there.

The Ruth/Gehrig seems a tad overgraded. Though, I've got no comment on the bottom border.

It is a tough set (I still need 6 of them) but that is crazy money. It is the #1 set on the registry and that helps but hopefully two whales were slugging it out.
