    As I already mentioned my idea is to turn this set in to a framed autographed display piece for my office. So this is just the starting point for me in dropping a boat load of cash. In the back of my head I had in the lower range of $3000 for the complete set with the Babe Ruth /350. My ultimate goal is to pick up the Babe Ruth /50 that is actually part of this set and sell off the /350 one as it was not intended as an insert for the 500 HR set.

    My question now is - how much should I discount off if I don't take the Babe Ruth /350? And any idea what the Babe Ruth /50 will cost? There is a guy on eBay that has the whole set plus both both Babe Ruth cards and he wants $8000 for everything. Everything is graded PSA 9 or 10, but really I could care less. I actually prefer mine not to be graded.

    Thank you,

    remove the Ruth 4500 - 1000 = 3500 value

    I'd pay 80% on the Mantle and Williams = .80 X 900 = $720
    and 50% on the other cards in the set. = 3500 - 900 = 2600 @ .50 = $1300

    so $2020

    He might says I won't break up the set but tell him that he has the wrong Ruth card so its not a complete set afterall.

    Personally, I think there's better items to display on the office wall for that amount of cash. To each their own tho. Good luck.

    Joel,
    Thanks for the math calculations. That's about what I was thinking. And yes, I agree that there are many other things I could purchase for what I'm going to spend on this project but I pretty much have what I need for my personal game-used memorabilia collection. Of course it will always be a never ending adventure. I think what intrigues me about this set is that this set came out during my childhood and I remember that it was the most talked about set to have! Just to have one of the cards would have been a dream! Now, I can't stand baseball cards but I want something that will bring me back to the good old days!
