Tampered Ruth case

[conor912]

Is it just me, or does this slab have some major red flags?

i don't think there is any doubt that it has been opened.

I think this industry is in a lot of trouble. Hardly a day passes when people on this board are debating whether a TPG case is cracked, tampered with or counterfeited. I can only imagine the debates going on with non-vintage card forums.

At first, it looked good to me. Then I saw those two cracks on the back of the slab.

[conor912]

Yeah, but it was the top 2/3s being frosted and bottom third not that first caught my eye. The cracks just co firm for for me.

I can't recall a thread outing a cracked SGC or BVG holder. I have nothing against PSA and use their services. I'm just saying.

The whole right side looks to have been pried open, you can even see 2 bumps on the edge/middle of the side. When I crack psa slabs, the same thing can happen because of my screwdriver too.

That holder has more frosting than a birthday cake!

Regardless of the slab, big question is, is the card real? I'm not a Goudey expert, but it does look good

The card looks good to me too (and I'm certainly no expert either), but the corners look a bit odd. They all have the same even amount of wear.

I noticed that too, but a lot of my goudey's I have have similar wear, but will admit, the wear on the Ruth's look 'too perfect', if that makes any sense

It's strange how it's seated in the holder too.

It would be hard to tell if an SGC holder had been cracked because they're very easy to open. That's not a big issue though since we're looking at the card first and foremost.

Beckett's are tough but the view of the card is not always entirely clear.

All three companies have issues and crooks will find a way.

Do you think it may be that it's diamond cut? Kind of looks like it...

Oh good lord.

I'm reporting it. I suggest everybody else do the same.

Additionally, look at the comments on the negative feedback in the last 12 months.
