Heres a Babe Ruth up for auction right now. What would this cut sell for just normally?? $1500-$2000??

This "thing" sold for $3100 in February. Naturally with the passage of such an extraordinary amount of time it is worth much more money now.
But remember the Tulip Mania came crashing down and people went broke.
