Babe Ruth Auction Win- Outlook Thoughts?

Ahmanfan

Hi Everyone,
I decided to take a plunge and won the PWCC auction for this Ruth last week.
I've always wanted a Ruth Goudey and a Ruth auto, never thought I would be able to get both in one purchase. Doesn't get more iconic than The Babe! Tucking this away for awhile. I particularly think the signature is strong and bold. What do you guys think investment wise at my purchase price ($6700)? I paid more than any which have sold in the past from this series, of which there were 10 Ruth combo cards produced. However, the sales were 2013-2017 and we know the market has changed since then. Curious to hear folks thoughts on the medium to long term outlook for this piece?

I'm not sure about the outlook, but one thing I am sure about..... I love it!

I like it, but it might be a long term investment. I think it should hold it's value well, even if the bubble pops, since it has dual value/protection since it's also an auto.

Rest easy - that is a great pickup. Auto is really sharp. Goes without saying keep that out of direct light, or indirect for that matter.

Thanks for the suggestion. Really wasn’t too sure about that. Would love to display but seems risky.
