Experts differ on Ruth "Called Shot" jersey + National recap
📞 cllct call 📞
As sports collectors gathered in Cleveland, cllct captured all the best moments from the four-day convention in our live blog.
As the Babe Ruth “Called Shot” jersey continues its publicity tour, cllct reports experts are split on whether the jersey can be photo-matched to one of baseball’s most legendary moments.
Weeks after the hobby was rocked by videos of collectors utilizing CT Scanners to find hits within sealed boxes, our Ben Burrows spoke to a company selling the service directly to collectors.
Prior to recent case studies in June and July, the majority of the collecting community had no idea X-ray technology could be used this way. Soon after discovering it was possible at all, it became clear that access to the technology through medical or academic settings wasn’t the challenge many expected. Now, it can be done for just $75.
While a large portion of the trading card community has immediately condemned the process, Irwin and Industrial Inspection believe it’s important to offer the service to all — not just what has appeared to be ultra high-end collectors operating in secret.
