I agree with this.

Although the BN Ruth sales made for some nice Internet click-bait, we're still just talking about one card. It would be foolish to infer anything over the two sales of that one card. Now, if Ruth cards across the board dropped 40% over the past two years, that would be an entirely different conversation.
