PWCC - 1933 Goudey #144 Ruth PSA 1

[Leon]

I like centering a lot but can't handle pin/staple holes. That PWCC 1 was a great looking card otherwise, but I would take yours over the other one shown, Jon. More was paid for this one and it will do until a suitable upgrade is found. The 144 is probably my fave card in the hobby.

It's always nice to see collectors spending big money for cards that have nice eye appeal for the grade.

Hard to improve upon an example as well centered as yours with full borders.

Leon-Why does your copy look so much more faded than Jon’s? Is that just a scanner setting difference?

I think it is just so much more faded, hence the part about it will due until I upgrade it.....the other attributes are nice. If I had to guess I would say maybe it was in sunlight at some point in it's life, but that is just a guess. It could have been on one of the last sheets of a run and not much ink was added, who knows? I probably shouldn't have sold the 2 nice ones I had, prior to this one, but my end goal is a bit more up the food chain. A really nice EX-MT or NRMT one would be perfect. If anyone has one they want to sell, shoot me a PM. (Might as well get something out of the card bashing .)

Crazy, i was watching this as well. I knew it hit at 2k, but for something freezing over or something in the water, did not see 3k coming.

I almost went in at 3250 last second, but was on the fence and embroiled in a heated Call of Duty match. Gonna wait to duke it out for a centered and focused 5-7 like Leon.

Underbidder on the Texas Tommy Johnson. Same card sold for $8400 in November in Heritage, and "sold" for $6300 yesterday to a bidder with zero feedback. Guessing someone was protecting their investment.
