Need Help with Identification of Ruth

[ValKehl]

Mdufrain, I don't know if this will be of any help to you, but my R316 Kashin photo of Sam Rice measures 4-7/8" x 6-15/16". It was already slabbed by PSA when I acquired it - you may want to have a go at submitting yours to PSA.

Mine actually has the exact same measurement and the photo stock looks exactly like yours. So few that I see graded so I think off to psa Mr. Ruth goes.

Here is one from my first collection, no longer mine. The large scan is on purpose.
It is hard to tell from the scan if yours is good or not but I don't see anything that jumps out at me as bad. Yours could be a bit more grainy than this one but that could be the different pics of the cards. That all said SGC knows what to look for and all humans can make mistakes.

I gotta say I'm not thrilled with the apparent over-exposure in the OP's card. In Leon's you can clearly see small details in white backgrounds like the pinstripes on the uniform on his right leg etc... sometimes that's a sign of a reproduction. They try and avoid it getting too dark and that's the result.

Is there a difference between the premium and 5 x 7 photo? When I submitted to sgc I told them I thought it might be a premium. I had not seen the 5x7 listing of the set until today

Not really different than a photo visually but they are on heavier stock....

Scott that could be simply the photo that was taken being blown out if its being taken with a camera on a phone. They tend to adjust to the bright side automatically. Not saying its the case but a possibility.

I agree, it's why I didn't say anything was definitive, but it does bother me, and I will point out that the image in the price guide, in the same photo as the card itself, actually shows more pinstripes.

Classic post.

1. OP: What do you guys think of this? I don't know what to make of it.

2. Reponse: I don't know. I see a few issues. Not sure. Probably not.

3. OP: Hey, don't see what you are talking about. I think it's real and I'm submitting it.

Always wonder what the point of these colloquies is.






is.

Got this one a while back...SGC calls them "Premiums," PSA calls them "Photos."

That is very nice. It is both a photo and a premium in my opinion. I count them as cards, others probably don't.

For the record, Brad's card discussed in this thread was checked again and is in fact a later reprint.....1970s or newer, probably.
