Dozens of Babe Ruth cards, some among the rarest cards of the legendary slugger, were chased down by eager bidders early Sunday as Memory Lane closed out its Summer Rarities catalog auction.
The top selling item was one of only four known copies of Ruths 1917 Standard Biscuit card and the highest graded example. The SGC 6 drew 32 bids and sold for $462,000.
Another top-grade Ruth scarcity, a PSA 5 1921 National Caramel E220, netted $195,483. The card stands as the best graded copy on any population report. The E220 cards were created by a Lancaster, PA candy maker and only a small number of cards still exist today.
