Curious that Money magazine, of all places, doesn't realize that a sale isn't a sale until the money is exchanged. |

If this auction is legit, what kind of fool would post such a poorly detailed auction as this. It's got to be the most abbreviated information for a high-dollar auction that there has ever been. Nobody is taking it too serious. Look at the list of bid cancellations. The winner will likely be someone who never takes the auction seriously or bid cancellations will drop the auction back down to a reasonable price. |

Leon, I'm in the USAF and I can assure you your tax dollars aren't being squandered on spoiling us! We aren't doing too bad I guess, if you don't count the parts when we're getting shot at... |

Starting to look like a stock market crash. Ruth's "contract" is down to $470,000 now. |

Whoever wrote that article for Fox better learn how to count. The Sox won only 5 titles, not 6 before hsipping off Ruth. |

My feeling is that the way the contract was presented (to start, Ruth's signature wasn't pictured or even mentioned), I don't see how any of the expensive bids were legitimate unless the bidder was well familiar with the seller. |

I should add that the 'more money than brains' syndrome should be a tecnhical term in collecting. When asked about an exceedlingly high final price in a MastroNet or similar auction, I will often say, "that's a case of a bidder having more money than brains." |
