The fact that a grader gave that a 10 absolutely shows a PSA grading scale is garbage. I would not pay more than a 35 bucks for that card personally outside that case and then feel hesitant as this Jordan bubble looks to me like a balloon racing into a razor warehouse. That someone paid 25k for a 10 on a plastic slab holding an 8 is madness. Who are these people throwing money away on a junk wax sticker!? This was a sub 10 dollar card a year ago unslabbed, how can this be a logical use of one's money? I am just mind blown.

Perhaps that is true, Bob, but I am leery of dumping a large sum of money into any card with hundreds of thousands of raw examples that could easily erode its value with newly slabbed specimens...and you know that this result will spawn a rush of submittals to PSA of the 1988 stickers. The Ruth is a classic card from a classic set that is not likely to see a pop increase.
Personally, I'd not buy either card. I've always believed in buying rarity, not slabs. The Jordan is common; the Ruth is tougher but still a widely available mainstream card. I'd rather have a nice midgrade Ruth that presents well and spend the other $20,000+ on other cards.

Odd
Odd that members of a pre-WW2 baseball card message board would chose a pre-WW2 baseball card over a post-WW2 basketball card...
Would you guys prefer a Baltimore News Ruth or a comparably valued copy of Superman #1?😐

The point of this thread was not really to poll the board for their preference, but to point out something ridiculous.

A better comparison would be a Low Grade 1939 Superman #2 or a High Grade 2003 Walking Dead #1. They go for about the same price and compare two separate eras of the same hobby. FWIW I would take the #2 Superman.
