My First Ruth Card

[scmavl]

I just want to thank everyone on the Forum who bought cards from me to help me to buy this card. I posted at the beginning of the year in the "What Card Would Make Your 2011?" thread, that a 1933 Goudey Ruth would be IT for me. Well, I found one at a price I could manage. And I think it looks GREAT for the grade.

EDIT: I received the card today and it is GORGEOUS. Better color than the pics make it look by far. And the best part- NO CREASES!!! I couldn't believe it. Here it is:







I'm a small time collector compared to most of you folks, but I'm VERY proud to have this card. I have also gotten a '41 DiMaggio, a T205 Mathewson, some Goudeys, and a few T206 cards from the forum and I'm thrilled with them all. Thanks for helping me get back into collecting and showing me there is a treasure trove of cards that are NOT made by Topps!

Congrats. I will always remember my drive to the post Office to pick up my first Ruth (red goudey)

My first (and only) was the E126 Ruth.

I like your '33. Nice eye appeal for a SGC 10. I have a similar SGC 10 '33 Gehrig. Congrats!!!

My First Ruth Card.Someday I hope to make this claim as well! Nice card I would be proud to have it in my collection anyday!

If you don`t mind me asking how much did you pay for it? Just so I can know how much to pay more or less when I try to find one.

You're off to a great start, man. Have fun with it!

"worth it to regrade it..." and I was thinking how the Babe was screaming 'freedom' and you should liberate him from the slab.

Fine-looking ball card.

Hi Jarrod
Congratulations on a great card. Great eye appeal for the grade. Nice choice. It's a wonderful feeling when we can acquire something that really gives us joy. I love the enthusiasm, it's infectious.....
