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?

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.

Default 31-32s

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.

Default Exhibits coming of age

I really like the Exhibits, especially those from the '20's, and consider their image reproduction to be generally quite a bit superior to other issues of the same era. As Rob Lifson commented in one of REA's recent auctions, some of Ruth and Gehrig's most dramatic images are found within the Exhibits sets. Some of the reasons the bigger cards, like Exhibits, and/or other postcards, lagged a bit behind more traditionally sized cards in value were due to the lack of quality holders for them for quite awhile, and if I recall correctly, it took PSA and SGC a significant length of time to produce large enough holders for them. Once professional grading took hold, values to a great extent depended upon (1) authentication of the card; and (2) the number given the card in the slab. If a card couldn't be graded, there was less demand for it, hence lower prices. Those obstacles are no more, and I would look for Exhibits to continue to rise in price, at least in proportion to their relative scarcity/rarity compared to other issues.
With regard to prices, I paid $2200 for the 1931-32 Ruth (portrait, with tie) from the movie stars set a few years ago in PSA 5. The Standard Catalog describes this as the rarest Exhibit Babe Ruth, but I would defer to Exhibitman on that one. Anyone have any ideas on whether that one is tougher than the 1923-1924 issue (duplicating the '21 fielding pose, but with borders)?

I think Adam practically gave away the 31-32 Exhibit Ruth here: Link

If I had known that was one of the rarest Exhibit Ruth's, I would've bid it higher. Anyone know what year/designation is the Ruth from Leon's post?
