Babe Ruth W517: brown vs. green?
I see Heritage has an SGC 50 portrait version already at a record $2000--the "brown variation." Which made me wonder: any idea on numbers of browns vs. greens? Not in listings anywhere that I see...

Must be a toughie, no one has weighed in yet. Those who have already bid the brown Ruth up to $2000 must THINK the brown is more valuable.

I always thought the green and brown were the most common colors for the W517, and their quantities were roughly the same. The portrait (#20) pose is tougher than the throwing (#4) however.
Edit: maybe not. For PSA, pop report shows 4 and 20 about the same. Last edited by glchen; 02-25-2017 at 05:32 PM.

Tints
I agree with Gary in that my experience of seeing W517's over the years (not necessarily Ruth, but just in general) is that the Sepia and Green are probably pretty close in terms of their relative populations. The reddish and purplish tints are definitely much, much less common.

color variations
there is also a blue that is tougher than the green and brown but not as tough as the red and purple. also there are shades of green and other colors.

That still leaves unanswered--beyond the usual auction competitive frenzy--why the price on this brown Ruth at Heritage is at $2000, more than twice the norm, and the auction is not yet over...
