Default Ruth card opinion

Posted By: jay behrens

The card doesn't look right. Picture looks fuzzy and the color of the stock looks wrong, which just might be your scanner. Unless a Goudey is slabbed, I am leery of any '33 Goudey doesn't have the wet sheet transfer of red on the back of the card.

If the card isnt yours, get the owner to slab the card if you are thinking of buying. If it's yours get the card slabbed. The price difference between raw and slabbed Ruth's is monsterous, but unless you've got cash to burn, buying a raw Ruth isn't worth it unless you know how to tell a real Goudey when you have it in your hands.

I'm incompetent at being incontenent.
