Watching Sudden Value Rise On A Recently Sold Card

[JasonD08]

LOL......I have everyone here beat. Owned 2 M101-5 Ruth rookies about 10 years ago. Sold a raw one in P condition for $3k and sold a PSA 4 for $16,500. I think the raw now resides in SGC 10 or aut and sold close to $30K last time and I just believe the 4 recently sold for $287K. Those would have come in handy today for my daughter's Ivy League tuition. I can name numerous more like the 48 Leaf Paige, 48 Leaf Robinson PSA 6, 32 US Caramel Ruth PSA 6, over 40 1933 Ruths, and a few more. That is life and what collecting is about. You win some and you lose some.

Oh and forgot about the 55 Clemente that graded an 8.....(raw set buy from Mastronet years ago). I think I sold for $4000 or so way back when. All tough cards now.

That is why I am going long.

I, too, bought a raw M101-5 Sporting News Ruth from Lew Lipset many moons ago. Had it personally graded by Derek Grady at a Ft. Washington show, where it received a 70 ex+. Consigned to Kevin Struss and sold at a Mastro auction for about $15,000. Probably fetch about 10x that today. And so it goes.

Yes. It took a few years for the prices to really jump but I sold all 4 T206 posses of Ty Cobb a few years ago in PSA 6.. Really wish I still had them, especially the greenback

Wasnt it though back then a bit of uncertainty that the Ruth 'rookie' may not always be considered a rookie for the collecting masses. It appears now thats not an issue anymore.
