Unique Items at Auction - Prices Cannot Be Predicted

 Check out this recently-completed ebay auction.  

1970 Rold Gold Display - Babe Ruth

Sorry if there is a redirect. 

If you don' want to head there, here are some pictures from the auction.




Until recently, I'd never seen the back of this display.  I have the Babe Ruth  and the cards that go with it.  I really like the catcher and umpire and what they add to the display.  

The price of $550, which includes shipping, was way beyond what I would pay as well as being a lot higher price than I would expect to see.  One can never tell when the item is unique.  

If anyone sees that catcher/umpire display let me know.  

There must be other displays like this for other Kellogg's/Hostess sets.  Has anyone seen other store displays other than this one, which officially isn't even a Kellogg's item.

  1. That is a pretty cool display piece. Probably a one of a kind item.

  2. Hopefully two of a kind if I can get that back portion.

  3. Sweet display. These are the rare kind of items I'd love to stumble across at a flea market. The only problem is finding a place to store it... oh and the $500 price tag ;D

    Good luck in tracking down the catcher/umpire for your collection.
