This has been the only uncut salesman strip that has ever been found with Ruth. I purchased a Universal Toy panel with Ruth from a seller on ebay earlier this year, who told me he also found it at an estate sale. Last year, there was a "find" for a partial set of extremely rare Sociedade cards, which had multiple Ruth and Gehrig cards, where the ebay seller told me he picked up at a flea market, of all places. So, these things do happen more often than you would think.

Perhaps such finds could occur at an Estate Sale. In this case though, it matters not whether they are from an Estate Sale, an Auction or Grandpa's attic. The cards, at least the ones he has provided scans for, are reprints.

Yep, I completely agree that the card in question here is a reprint.
