Sports memorabilia has a huge market, and one of the biggest names in all of sports is Babe Ruth. There's no red-blooded American who doesn't know the name.

But many people don't know about the baseball legend's rookie baseball card; only 10 are believed to exist.

A local sports card shop in New York is selling a 1914 Babe Ruth rookie card, according to the New York Daily News.

Gotta Have It Collectible's President Pete Siegel said, "People love to collect, and it doesn't get better than this."

The shop is also selling a Honus Wagner card, which to collecters is the end all, be all.

Would you drop dough like this to have a piece of baseball history?
