Again, I appreciate the responses, i'm just trying to gain some information which I can use to proceed on future purchases. Thanks again.

The red flag is that most people including the seller know that just the Ruth, if real, is a $1000+ card. Why would someone sell that and a bunch more valuable cards for a third of it? If it's too good to be true it usually (but not always) is. That is the reason.

Low feedback, card is raw, bad photo shot at angle and from a distance, price is below wholesale...put it all together and you have your answer.
