Rest of 2021

Sellers. Broadly speaking, there are numerous investment types sniffing around the field. Savvy buyers are grabbing up the top tier prewar cards besides T206. I would not be surprised if every decent looking 1920s Babe Ruth is a $10,000+ card by 2022.

Every thread needs a card, and

I sure hope so, haha

...except yours.

Then again, a W515 Ruth went for over $2K in LOTG, so you never know...

I'm holding on to all my Ruth cards for now.

And we do need some cards in here

[nineunder71]

Wow, what an asshole you are!!!!

Cheers to ALL, except you

Well, on the hockey side of things, people are starting to hold onto their bluechips. We all witnessed crazy shit during the pandemic and now people are just hesitant to let go of their big cards. I couldn't pick-up a damn thing this summer.

Snookums reaching $10K? That's when you know we've jumped the shark.

I think it'll be a sellers market for the foreseeable future.

Memory Lane sold an SGC 3 Snookums for over $13k earlier this year….

I think it is a sellers market until at least early next year.

With the influx of new money coming into the hobby that is helping fuel price

and with many sellers selling things they bought years ago and now taking profits it is putting things for sale that many of us have not seen for a long long time and we may not see again for a long time driving many collectors or buy now out of fear of missing out.

In addition all the new advertising and cards being in the news to generate further interest.

Perhaps also a factor here is the possibility of another MLBPA strike in the absence of a new CBA. I wasn't collecting in 1994-95; those that were, how did it affect the card market at the time?

it included a matching Type 1 photo, so not exactly, but still, damn! Point of the spear? Gonna be an interesting 6-12 months.

Also "One of only 5 known examples and the SOLE/HIGHEST GRADED example of all five"

Not exactly...



If anyone wants this one for $20k let me know

Risk Off…. When I see more and more marketing terms as such being used, assets, vaults, aka brokerage account, what Fanatics is doing, along with buying fractionalized shares of high end graded cards I get nervous.

Cobb
Ruth
Mantle
Jackie
Mays

Only…

[JollyElm]

It will most certainly be a seller's market...until I try to auction off something I own, then it will magically turn into a buyer's market and leave me eating nothing but ramen as the tears roll down my cheeks.

What the heck?!?!

[Exhibitman]

Time to cash in, G?

[Rhotchkiss]

Yup, all Ruth’s are valuable - babe holding a baby, babe holding a bird, babe holding a ball. You name it, as long as Ruth is on the card, it’s valuable.
