Congrats Gary! As an added bonus, that Ruth batting image was originally struck by Charles Conlon in 1920 so it�s a first-year Yankees Bambino pose.

While not prewar I had bid what I think was strong on 1953 Bowman and won nothing. The biggest outlier was the '53 Feller - went for $4891 for a PSA 8.

It was a beauty but I wasn't even close. Last 3 sales $2,250 12.20.24, $2700 previous high 10/29/24, $2240.80 9/13/24.

Every '53 bowman went crazy over VCP.

Thanks, Jim! I did not know that as I thought the image was from a later time since Ruth seemed to be his "chunkier" part of life.

(I do know that it is the same image from his 1926-29 Exhibits card.)

But this has been a card I have been eyeing for years and hopefully I can get the other card which is of Ruth Pitching

There was another one of these cards that went for less than $1000, which I passed over because it was laminated. I definitely regret that decision. I think someone from the Board did win that card however. More discussion of that card in this link: Link
