Default Babe Ruth pull

First time in over 20 yrs I get on a kick about having cards in general. Bought over 4000 off eBay just for giggles and to look through. Went to a card store on 7/7 to maybe learn whats changed and ask a few questions and bought a few packs of cards there too. Made a wonderful pull in my opinion and was curious on what everyone things of the signature, quality and maybe even whether or not its worth anything to sell or hold onto?

Default Ruth

Very nice D. I have no idea on value. He does have a lot of signed stuff out there. It would be a keeper for me

A Babe Ruth auto is typically the best card you can pull out of a product for that year, and there's rarely more than one. An awesome pull.

WOW! That's an awesome pull of a lifetime. Would be hard to part with the Holy Grail of pulls. Would also be hard to turn down the 2-5K that card would bring on ebay with the right seller (Probstein or PWCC etc.).
Either way, congrats, you'll NEVER do better than that one!

I have seen other similar Ruth cut cards sell for over $5000, so I would likely sell it and reinvest into a different Ruth auto (to have one cheaper) and then buy other cards that I would want to keep for my collection. Maybe a low grade matching Ruth Goudey Sport Kings?

Amazing pull! If it were me, I'd sell and then buy a different Ruth, if you're interested in Ruth. The cards are cool and all but I'd rather have a loose signature on a different medium. Plus you could probably pocket a nice difference from the sale on top of a replacement Ruth.

I'm actually went with the advice of a few and sold it and will pick up a cheaper babe ruth sig in the future. Met someone halfway this morning and picked up just over $7000 for it. But this card really did it for me by probably getting me somewhat of a hobby. Suppose I'll start with just sets until I find a team, player or era I want to collect.
