Default Headin' Home Ruth card

Posted By: Pete Z.

Last weekend at a show here in VA a dealer had one of these cards in his case for $725. It was a very attractive pose (mid-torso to top of head with bat and cool ad back), but it measured ~1/4in short top-to-bottom and the sides of the card looked shaved, so I passed. (It wasn't the variety of Headin' Home with the actor "Tex" or "Rex" on the back btw). The dealer also had an authentic fro-joy (g+/vg-) in his case for $300, which I knew to be ~3xs too high--so for all I know his price on the Headin' Home was ~3xs too high as well. Are Headin' Home Ruth cards like fro-joys as far as collector's steering clear of them because of the number of repros out there, and grading companies not grading them either? What would you say one of these would go for in an SGC 20 holder? AUTH?

Thanks,
Pete
