History in the making?
Needless to say having this card sitting on my desk for a few seconds was really cool. Having it in my hands was something I never thought I would be able to say.
Some interesting thought on this thread and yes, we too are wondering if this card could surpass the Wagner in terms of hobby significance and value because if any card deserves the honor it would be this one. Oh, for those of you who are wondering, there will be no unpleasant surprises at the end. This card will sell. There is NO reserve. High bidder gets it!

In light of this new information, I'll revise my earlier estimate, and guess $8.5M for this rare piece of cardboard history. And afterwards, we can debate who picked it up, and whether the house or its employees bid during the process, as I'm pretty sure I remember that HA reserves this right.

My vote would be for the red version. If I ever win the lottery, I will be trying to track this one down.

Rob, if I ever win the lottery, I'll be tracking down both a red version AND a blue version of this first Ruth card, plus a T206 Wags, plus every WaJo card that sold in the past for more than my card budget could handle!!!
