A cetain member of this board has CLEANED ME OUT OF TRUE BEATERS. I remember telling Mark M about a trade, and he said "Let me get this straight. Your'e trading a Ruth, a Johnson, and some other stuff for a Cracker Jack Marquard?"
"Mark--you'd have to SEE the cards to understand their true worth..."
This here card has a GREAT HISTORY. It's the scarcest Ruth in the '35 Goudey set.. Anyway, see those few lines just above the center back? There's a big "1934" (incorrect) in pencil, real deep, there, which I erased as well as I can. The story-- I can't remember anymore. All I know is, for the longest time, whenever I borrowed $300 from a friend, I would send him this card. When I repaid it, he would send it back. Once I noticed that he hadn't even taken the card out of its rappings! So after that, I just borrowed $300, and the card stayed home.
It has great sentimental value...
Here are my ex-beaters! Wonder who has them now?
