Corey R. ShanusRuth being Ruth, his single-signed balls, perhaps common compared to other HOF single-signed balls, will always be special and always in demand. Perhaps an apt analogy would be a '51 Bowman or '52 Topps Mantle baseball card. By any stretch, I hardly think they can be called rare. Yet, being the preeminent postwar card, they will never be cheap. And when a true condition rarity shows up, the sky seems to be the limit in how much it will sell for. Same too for Ruth single-signed balls, arguably the most popular single-signed ball to be had. And when a true blazer surfaces, the demand to have (one of) the best will ensure continued astronomical prices.
