Just because it was issued in a holder by a major card distributor doesn't make it authentic. As was mentioned in this thread, you could find a nicer Ruth signature that has a greater chance of being authentic for much less money. However, if you like it that much and the money is burning a hole in your pocket, by all means, get it.

Not to mention, I don't look at that autograph and feel with 100% certainty that it's good. I am by no means saying that it's not good, but I don't look at it and tell myself that it's 100% fine with no questions asked/or that I'm totally comfortable with it. I don't get that feeling right away. I'd honestly have to study it a little bit (and I can't right now because I'm busy at work haha).

It’s a CUT-out autograph. That’s like a trimmed card. Stay away from cuts.

I hope the previous responses dont seem too negative. The price is ridiculously high and folks dint want to see you get burned. Honestly, the signature looks to be good, but I'm not an expert by any means.

I would keep looking for one in the $4-5k range. There's nothing wrong with cut signatures, if you like them.

Assuming positive intent, but I hope this isnt your auto and you're trying to drive traffic.

It’s also shipping from Taiwan?? Like others have said, there are far better deals out there and probably safer ones too.

I am very leery of any high end modern American cards coming from China, Taiwan, etc., especially in slabs. What plausible explanation is there for the card ending up in Taiwan in a slab? There are too many stories of third shift counterfeiting from the factories that fabricate so many other products. I would be very concerned that this is a counterfeit item in a slab that slipped out the back door of the factory. Also, fake coins from China are a big news story this year:

IMO it is only a matter of time before we start seeing fake modern cards in fake slabs.
