I was the direct underbidder on this one, and it haunted me for a few hours not putting up the extra couple of hundred dollars to win this. They are that hard to find in affordable shape.
And then I woke up, and realized I almost spent 5000 on a ripped card. And I felt a little bit better. Whoever won it should be lucky to have it though. It does present well for a rip.

I frantically went back and forth on this one..
I was worried about the authenticity of the card.. I still almost came in at 5k in the last minute. Kind of wish that I would have now... I wanted to ask you guys about it but didn't want to violate any rules of the board. Now I've got to find another card to invest in.

That Ruth rookie was only $18k? What a steal!

Amazing that someone will pay serious bucks for a card literally torn in half and restored and elsewhere people will turn their nose up at a fantastic card that is PSA 9 but graded OC.

Having said that, certainly has the best eye appeal of any ripped in half and restored card I have ever seen.

Just chiming in, so I could learn about these CJ authenticity (real or not real)
I know it be kinda hard to replicate the staining, so I guess that part is a good indicator for most parts. But I looked at this card as well and tried comparing it to another low end example. When I zoomed in on the Ebay one- I kept seeing the dot pixels on his forehead, bat and his uniform...so I was cautious if someone printed it out. So could the fellow board educate me/some of us what to look for??? As for the back, I saw it looked more white/restored and the lettering was scuffed up from it I assume, compared to a cream colored example I loked at. So, was it just bleached-out?? is another question. Pics from Ebay versus a comparable: ![]() from a Auction House: (I would of liked to been able to zoom in more on this one) ![]()

This CJ JJ looks 100% real for many reasons. I like the bleed on some of the red around the edges...I like the color of the back...many CJ's I think the ones that were actually placed in boxes tend to exhibit an almost onion peely surface texture in the red. The type looks right...the stock is correct.
I dont think I've ever seen really good cj fakes. |

one way to tell it's real is the jersey is the same color as the border. You can see it bleed into border middle right. Under magnification they all have that dot matrix look
