1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth sells for more than the T206 Wagner

[Zone91]

I do not understand the logic of it only takes 2 bidders to push up the price is that not the case with EVERYTHING else in this world as well? I mean maybe there was 3 guys or 4 how do we know it was only 2 bidders....makes no sens to me. The end result is what matters it beat the T206 Wagner and that is that...final results are very much real in life!!! Like it or not the reality is that the Ruth is now the most expensive card EVER sold in a PSA 1 no matter how the bidding went!!!

I know for some it is a SHOCK that the T206 Wagner is now # 2 but it is what it is!!! Rarely in reality does something always stay # 1 for ever.

And one day most likely the most expensive card in the world will be the 52 Topps Mantle in PSA 10 why you ask simple it DOES exist in that grade not like the 2 other cards mentioned here. I am pretty in say 15 years it will be the new # 1 unless a new high grade of either the Ruth or Wagner is discovered that has not been altered in any way.

There is no way in Hell...Heaven or any other place that the 52 topps mantle will ever be the most expensive/valuable card in the hobby...never gonna happen!

I would say, "Ladies, you're both beautiful. I'd be happy to have either one of you."

Then I would take them both home.

Hard to say the current estimates are that a PSA 10 52 Topps Mantle is now worth over 1$ million dollars what about in 20 years...if there is a card that can be worth more my guess would be this one again ONLY in PSA 10.

There are more examples of "everything else in the world", so you've got more data to go on.

The reason it would be a shock is because what you are claiming is just not true. The Wagner T-206 sold through Goldin last month sold for $2.1 million. Until someone is willing to put up more money for any other card, the Wagner T-206 is still the king of the hobby, IMO.
