Agree that the condition is "wholly" less than desirable. Reminds me of the very well centered but heavily creased 1969 white letter Mantle I bought for $30 in the '90's. One that looked just as bad, had worse centering and was TPG'd "poor" just sold for $199.00. And that Ruth is certainly far, far rarer than the Mantle. Something to be said for just having an (any?) example of a super rare and desirable card?
Best wishes,
Larry
