How did this faded Ruth ball sell for $12,000?

This sold for $12,000 on June 2nd.  Yes, Ruth balls can sell for that much and more, but not when they’re this faded!  It comes with a PSA/DNA LOA.

It's a case of having more money than sense. Whatever I can see of the auto looks A-OK to me, I agree with PSA, but I'd certainly pass on it and spend $12,000 on something bolder. Then again, the price may simply reflect the new price norm of the active economy, more entering the collectibles arena, all in search of the same thing.

Yes, they could have gotten a much bolder autograph for $12k.

I'm curious to know opinions regarding what a reasonable price for this ball would be.

Honestly, given how faded it is, I would say $3k to $4k, in my opinion.
