In what auction? Pwcc?

Yes, PWCC: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1933-Goudey...edirect=mobile

Wow. Well, probably fewer of those than Jordan gem mint 10’s and still only 1/10 the price

Beware the bubble...beware the bubble!!!

I've put the breaks on buying for a while, don't see these prices being accurate in the future.

I don't think you're going to see a bubble burst on these Ruths. Sure, they're going up, but nothing like the percentage increases on some modern stuff.

I bought a PSA 4 144 Ruth in 2008 for $2,000 - it's obviously much higher than that now, but it hasn't gone up exponentially in the past year the way Jordan and other modern cards have. Has it doubled in the past year? Sure - maybe even 3x. But how many other cards are 10x - 20x from their prices of a year ago. So I don't see any decrease coming for any Ruth cards.

There is a decent looking 2 of the 144 up on ebay for 8k. If you were willing to pay 6 for that psa 1, the 2 is a bargain (not my card).

It is. I saw a PSA 1 1962 Aaron that went for nearly $200. Makes no sense. I am not sure whether to be sorry I didn't buy some of my target cards or happy for the ones I have.
