Babe Ruth rookie 1916 M101-4 already at 37 500$ on it's very first day at auction

I saw it was at $32.5K this morning when I checked. I think yours is a fair guess, but actually think it will go higher. It's a beautiful card on the front. I'd love to have it but don't know what I'd give up to get it. I will guess $70K before the juice.

Yeah, I basically blew it. Bet everything on making a run at this Legendary example and my max bid got torched before I could even put it in.

So much for an SGC 10/PSA 1 being worth 15k. Man do I feel like an idiot for not landing one when I could have. I am beginning to think that every time I look at any of my cards from now on, I'm going to be reminded of this epic fail. I suppose that's a good argument for selling off, actually.

Meh, life goes on and you still have some kick ass cards or a big chunk of change, either way. Things could be worse, and you could be a bigger idiot.

And the card in Legendary is not, as already mentioned, your typical "poor" card. We're seeing more and more in this hobby that collectors are paying for the card, and not necessarily the number on the flip (see Goudey Lajoies in REA as well as the T3 Cobbs).
