After reading the REA description for that card, who knows when another BN Ruth will come to auction? Unless another example is discovered, the other cards seem to be entrenched in huge collections that probably won't see the light of day for quite some time. We may not see another Ruth rookie come to auction for many years.

Tony, I was quietly standing behind you during that exchange, and I distinctly heard you predict $450K with the juice. I think you also correctly predicted the time that the final bid was placed within 10 seconds.
Very well done.
