Anyone else surprised by the babe Ruth signed balls pricing? Have those gone up? I was watching the multi signed ball with young Cobb and babe and Wagner. Etc.

I love the offbeat and non-sports cards. I mentioned the Howard Hughes card from the 1936 Heinz Aviators set in one of the other REA threads; I was blown away by the action on that card on the final day. The Howard Hughes card in that set is a great rarity, and doesn't come up for auction too often. In 2014, a PSA 5 of the Hughes cards sold for $657 with Legendary. In 2012, a PSA 4 sold for $478 with Legendary.

The Hughes card at REA was a PSA "5" ended at $2,040 with the BP. Yikes, non-sports cards don't often triple like that in three years, especially in mid-grade.

A Wildfire Shulte game used Cubs bat from early 1900's for $13,200! That's insane. It's a $400-$800 bat. Makes no sense.

The green Cobb PSA 2 that went for 5400. I am willing to bet someone thinks they can get the tape residue off the back and turn the card into a 4 to make a few thousand dollars on the card.

Keep those eyes peeled.

Compare the PSA 4 that just sold in Sunday night's at REA for $15k+ w/ BP to the one listed in BST: http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=238944

The REA Mantle's hammer price makes the one listed in BST look like a good deal.

PS - I have no stake in the BST Mantle (or the one sold in REA), but I do have the 51 Bowman Mantle in a PSA 5 that I will gladly sell for $18k based on these prices...!

Was thinking the same thing. I have seen this exact cover listed before, not sure where.
Now it went for $144,000.00

Default 48 leaf pack - record for unopened single pack?
The ungraded 1948 leaf wax pack went for almost 50k. Hard to imagine pulling that much value out - but this probably means it never gets opened. Anyway it might be a record price for a single wax pack. The high series 52 packs only hit 18k last i checked.

The Leaf pack price is really intriguing. I can't relate to that type of collecting at all. You're paying major dollar for cards that will never see the outside of that wrapper. Boy that's satisfying!

Yeah, I can see a life long love affair with Mickey Mantle leading to a six figure purchase of his card if you have the money to spare, but is anyone emotionally attached to Leaf packaging? Of course someone could just figure it's an investment. Wouldn't be my investment though.

I don't get it either. I know people do collect unopened packs but I would enjoy opening one and going for the big hit. I'd be fine knowing I will probably lose money, but not at anywhere close to 50k. Imagine getting say a robinson that graded a 7, and an off center paige that came back a 4. You still lose 20k.

If I owned a complete Leaf set, I can't think of a cooler way to complete it than with an unopened pack to go with it. But 50k is obscene.

No doubt. I think we all remember opening packs as a kid. I love opening older packs and boxes. A while back a friend and I went in on an 83 Topps box and split the backs. He got the better end finding a Gwynn and Sandberg. I did hit a Boggs and Ripken.
