I agree it looks like something was erased. I have 2 1939 Play Ball cards that had writing on the borders that was erased and they both got number grades from SGC. I thought erasures were supposed to get an A grade only. My Arky Vaughan got a 1.5 and my Charlie Keller got a 2. Here is a scan of the Vaughan.

I very much wanted a low grade Goudey Ruth. This is the only one that I can afford now

This recent sale amazes me:

https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=75530

$90,000 for a mid-grade (a really nice one, to be sure) Goudey Ruth! And it's in REA, so you know the sale is legit.

I did some digging and found the most recent previous sale of this exact card was for $10,200 in Heritage in Feb. 2018.

Amazing!!!!!!!!

Yes, It does look like something has been erased.

No, erasures are not a deal-breaker. I submitted a nice Dizzy Dean '34 Goudey last year to SGC, and it got a 3 despite a front corner pencil mark that was erased. It likely cost me a full grade though.

I think I've only seen one sgc 2 with writing otherwise standard 1.5 fr writing even if card is Ex. This may have changed with the new regime

Like this card. If it didn't have the erasure marks (not sure that's what they are but that's my guess), I would love to own it. But I would pay more for presentable 3 without erasure marks than I would for this card. That being said, I'm much less concerned with corners and centering than most, and much more concerned about sharpness and colors (no fading!). To some, the other aspects of this card might outweigh the flaws. I wonder what it would have graded without them?

You think passing on one at prices between a few hundred and up is bothersome?

When I started collecting I hung out at a local dealer. (77-83 ish) It wasn't uncommon for them to hand me a solid VG Goudey Ruth and say "It's $100 you should buy it". Probably happened 10-15 times....

What the hell was I doing then? Buying 1969-1972 Topps commons trying to finish sets. I could've dropped $100 on a Ruth. But that's only one card and I can have hundreds of cards if not thousands for that price. DUH!
