The T206 Wagner is a relatively common card as well.
If you were to add up all of the M101 Ruth rookies with all backs combined, there are probably a few more Ruths than Wagners, but I would say that it is in the same ballpark. My guess would be somewhere in the 75-125 range. For some M101 backs, there is probably only a single example known or no known examples. I believe that the BN Ruth will eventually surpass the T206 Wagner (as it should) and the M101 Ruth will continue to increase in value with mainstream collectors looking for "Babe Ruth's rookie card." Similar to the T206, there are enough M101 Ruths around to keep the buzz going. |

Leon - you have a few years on me in the hobby, but not many. 500 M101 Ruth rookies? I don't think so.
Just because there aren't only 1 or 2 know examples doesn't make everything 500 ![]() |

I think that you and I can agree that both are quite common compared to what we typically collect.

Not to get involved in this scuffle...and without checking pop reports...I'd have to guess there are way less than 100 Ruth Rookies(m101-5/4) graded by anyone...so I'm w/Dan...no way there are even 2-300 ruth rookies...imo.

A key is the wagner is a rare care in a plentiful and popularly collected issue. The card is rare but the issue is not. A card can be too rare and obscure for its own good (high value)-- thus there are rarer cards that are not as valuable.
It's not a coincidence that the most expensive rare cards often to usually come from plentiful and popular sets-- wagner, plank, goudy lajoie. Last edited by drc; 09-02-2012 at 12:41 PM. |
