The Grandaddy of the Modern Era?

December 16, 2008 · Filed Under Baseball, Donruss · Comment 

The Babe Ruth Tools of the Trade game jersey jumbo patch closed on EBay at a record $3,303.00. This caused some discussion on the boards of “Is this the Honus Wagner of modern era Game Jersey cards. This was a card that got an amazing amount of press coverage when released. Even covered by ESPN in this article. I’d love to get some feedback on this, is there any disputing that this is the top game jersey card perhaps ever? If you don’t think it is, what would you consider to be #1 or what in the future could you see topping this card?

Got in a sneak peek of 2008 Topps Sterling from Clay Luraschi from Topps. This set looks like the vintage players dream set. It’s got an amazing checklist, and should be a great product!! Check it out below!

2008 STERLING BASEBALL SNEAK PEEK

The retired player-only product features the likes of only the greatest ball players to step on the diamond such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Jackie Robinson and many more. It is by far one of the strongest checklists to ever grace a trading card product.
