Yup, it certainly got pushed higher, and I am (partially) to blame. I wonder if I was battling one other person or whether several of us were after it. Regardless, it sold for six figures and I am the moron that made it so. But at least now I own a Gehrig Rookie.

In addition to the Gehrig, look what happened with the 1916 M101-4 Sporting News Ruth Rookie, and the 1914 CJ Matty and Altoona Ruth in REA a few days ago. I think with all the new money in cards, the values on these iconic cards are being reset/re-established, and its get them now or risk paying even more next time they come up. Indeed, even the 1933 Goudey Lajoie sold for 20% more than the same exact card sold for 6 months prior.

I think we are in a new phase of the "hobby", where for some and some cards, it is no longer, nor ever will be again, a hobby.

I bought a SGC 3 from a board member sometime ago for $17,000. Sold it for double that. Was rejoicing at the time. LOL.

That piece is spectacular. Regards to the price, you've made some wise purchases in the past that now look like bargains. I have a feeling this one will end up in that category as well.
