I like their focus and commitment to our past-time. Just wondering how others feel about the format and impact to prices. Our history is surely valuable, I just want to make sure the right people are defining that value. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk |

REA gets amazing profits for their consignors. And that’s to their credit. Can’t lay at their doorstop the fact that the same card that sells for 4K somewhere else sells for 10k when they sell it. A tribute to their sterling reputation and the fact that lots of people will seemingly overpay to play in their sandbox and post on Net 54 that they are a playa with the big dogs.

Pales in comparison to most on this thread, however, couldn't resist picking up a NR MT T209. Never see those.

Ruth Premium is an awesome piece. Never been able to understand why these premiums don't seem to get the love they deserve. A great photo.

I believe the issue was with my server as I did not have the exact options available, though it did come from the thumbnail. Anyway, lots of great wins, guys. Congratulations!

Anyone here get the low grade Brunner's Bread Cobb? That is another killer card!

Michael, seems the Board is happy with your decision to ignore my advice to pick up that Magie error SGC 30, instead of the proof. So if you cant beat'em, join'em. Great proof!! I guess I gotta get me a proof one of these days.

I understand Larry's point about relative scarcity, but to me even if it's 100 or more a Ruth rookie card is still a much bigger deal than a 1/1 60s Mantle issue. Mantle -- great player, all the more so because of the perfect storm that made him an icon. But Ruth is on another level, and it's prewar. It's all a subjective judgment though.

Thanks guys.
Ryan- ha, was easy to choose the proof over the Magie, since it was less than half the price! (Jay/T206Kid)- nice pick up on the SGC 10 Magie, that was in my crosshairs too. Glad you got it. Last edited by MVSNYC; 05-08-2018 at 02:28 PM. |

I also really like the proof T206. I always seem to stare at them when I see them and realize a while later that I've been in a blank stare for some time and don't remember the last few minutes.

Thats a very nice T209 pickup David. Only one other graded that high according to the pop reports, in the whole set.

So, besides the blank back, Famous & Barr and Standard Biscuit versions, are there any other Ruths that are generally considered to be from the earlier "M101-5" series? |

I just got my cards from the last REA auction and unfortunately got shorted like I feared.
I won this auction: https://sports.ha.com/itm/baseball-c...=MyBids-101116 It said 14 cards, and listed 14 cards in the description. However the photo only showed 13. On the paperwork with the check I mailed I wrote and circled/underlined for them to verify that they are sending 14 cards. Sure enough, 13 showed up in the mail today. Missing the Lord, PSA 6.

Oops, good eye. I had recently a bunch of REA emails from the auction mixed in with my tracking emails that my mind blended the two together.

Successful Farming is also m101-5, although no Ruths have been confirmed. Be careful with either Standard Biscuit and Morehouse if you insist on trying to land an m101-5, as those advertisers also issued cards parallel to m101-4.

I won lot 41. A pair of N172 OJ portraits. One of John Morrill (Boston) and the other of Al Myers (Washington). I particularly always liked the Morrill portrait with him in his Boston uniform. Just a super cool card in my opinion!

In regards to the Standard Biscuit and Morehouse cards (Ruth in particular), how can you differentiate between the M101-5 and M101-4? Is it just by the tone of the stock? For example, I assume that the PSA 2 is an M101-5 and the PSA 4 is an M101-4. It also seems that M101-4 cards are taller and thinner than M101-5s. Is this true? |

Was happy to upgrade with this baseball currency note. These are hard to find in decent condition. Jerry Spillman did an article on these notes in the April 2018 issue of the Vintage Collector by Beckett. Some corrections need to be done with the article, as he was off on some of the advertisers and their locations including this pickup. The Jeweler is actually located in Cadiz, Oh and not Chicago, IL as published.

Hi Kevin,
I have never seen a Morehouse Ruth, so can offer no opinion there. As for Standard Biscuit, I have only seen three, and only that number have been graded by PSA and SGC- the two you show and an SGC 40. You are correct in identifying the two (the SGC 40 is from the earlier m101-5 also). There are stock and a couple of production identifiers that help differentiate the two. With Standard Biscuit the creamier or more golden-looking stock, particularly noticeable on the back, is very seldom found on m101-4 cards. Standard Biscuit was likely the first advertiser to receive m101-5 or D350-1 cards, and the stock is easily seen as non-white, although it can vary in degree. Ruth cards from m101-5 usually have that print flaw most have observed-- a line from the right border that extends toward anywhere from about his left elbow in some cards to around the sleeve of his undershirt in others. It too varies in degree, and is hard to see in your scan but is there. M101-4s will not show that line. Many m101-4s with department store advertising (and some blanks) have print pressure lines running horizontally about 40% from the top and/or vertically 15% from the right edge, starting at the bottom. Your PSA 4 Ruth scan shows the vertical line-- it runs from the bottom of the card up through his lifted ankle. Here is a blank-backed Ruth that shows a more pronounced line: This is another sign that it lines up with m101-4, and although this "flaw" is not found in all cards from that latter set, it is not seen in m101-5. Along with the whiter stock, it is pretty safe to say the PSA 4 Standard Biscuit is from the m101-4 set. As for the size/dimensions of the different Standard Biscuits, I do not believe we have enough of a sample size to say that one is taller or wider than the other. In general this is not apparent for m101-5 vs m101-4 or Standard Biscuit cards overall.

REA pick ups
I picked up an E98 Cobb SGC20 and the E90-1 lot with 6 HOF-ers. Got outbid everywhere else, I really wanted that E98 Matthewson (blue).

I love Red Cross cards, so I was delighted to pick up the T207.
I'll bump an old thread on the topic in a minute with some new info from the consignor (Brian was so quick to get the info for me after I won the lot!) |
