Jay MillerTodd--I would say the best bet for the Ruth rookie is a straight letter Gimbels. In fact, I think (but wouldn't swear) I saw one several years ago. Otherwise, if you have a Ruth with a back that could be an M101-4 or a M101-5 you cannot call it a rookie because you do not know definitively which year it is from. Makes all those PSA graded Ruth "rookies" with blank backs pretty suspect. Bob Lemke should put this info out in the SCD catalog and the info should be deseminated to the grading services so such misrepresentations can be avoided. Makes you wonder what PSA's liability is to people who paid up for high grade Ruth "rookies".
