And now Sports Collector's Daily has an article on it. But agree, if you search Babe Ruth and sort by highest price auction, it will pop out rather quickly.

Live and learn
My apologies to anyone who I inadvertently caused a problem with this auction. I thought since it had so many views and bids already plus the sellers stated in their description that they had numerous calls and emails to end the auction early that this was no secret. Maybe it would be best to just wait until the dust settles after the final bidding before bringing something like this on a post again. Again I meant no harm but will do it differently in the future. I’m pretty sure that this was going to go wherever it ends up with or without this thread but we will never know.

No need to apologize in my book. It’s on eBay for godssake. This is not state secrets we are talking about. A few people who thought an eBay auction was somehow a deep state secret need to get over themselves.

I would have to whole heartedly agree with Steve on this. If you are doing a daily search on ebay and have 'Babe Ruth' or 'Ruth' as your search parameters under sports cards you would most likely see this card. I know that most people search using 'newly listed' as part of their search. If you do that you generally know the last items you saw and at what time of day. Anything that looks odd in the image next to the title you are probably going to open the listing.

If you search by highest price "Babe Ruth" on ebay, this comes up first and it is funny as hell they're charging $6 for shipping.

They’re mailing it book/periodical rate. Which means it’ll get to then authenticator in 4-6 weeks  . It’s nearing $34,000 and I like how he wrote that the rest of the cards are not included in the deal. Meanwhile, The rest of the things he’s auctioning off will get him under $1000. I bet the seller is going to wake up in shock this morning. What was interesting The opening bid was $9.99 ( disclosure I put a bid in when it was still at double figures). Meanwhile this guy’s not getting any bites : https://www.ebay.com/itm/385093138192 I guess the adage is true, as a seller you should open bids at low numbers to get more eyeballs

Two thoughts on this thread:
1. 'Outing' a public auction is not a thing. 2. That is not a visually appealing Ruth card.

As a buyer only, I like when people shut up about things they've figured out on eBay I'm bidding on, as it increases the odds I might win the poorly listed item. I've spent more than one listing nervous a badly listed card is going to appear on the boards and I'm not going to win as a result.
However, I have never understood why this as a moral thing many hobbyists believe; that people who spot something have some sort of ethical duty to tailor their actions to help the potential buyers at the cost of the seller, instead of the other way around. I don't think I would have any reasonable standing to be upset if someone publicly mentioned a card up for public sale.
