when was it available for less? this card was on loan at the babe ruth museum since the late 90's when I was there.

I guess the current owners decided they're ready to cash out now that they expect 8 figures.

In terms of price, how many rich guys are out there and willing to go nuts over this one?

All it takes are 2!

Since we're having fun throwing out wild guesses, I might as well go hog wild and guess that we'll get to $20M on this one, including the juice. There's just enough guys in the cardboard world with 9 figure bank accounts who are willing to part with a slice of their cash to pick this one up for a while.

I think it will go for 15M before BP.
It’s about the best combo of player/ rare card out there

Incredible card. If I had the money (in my dreams) would be a tough call between that or a game worn Ruth jersey. Probably similar pricing.

Opening bid is 2.5 million. I see 10-12 million range.
