I didn't realize I offered the one I had nine years ago. It feels longer.

I could be wrong, but I believe of the 11 known Ruth cards, 6 are the blue variation and 5 are the red variations.

Alan, I know of 10 examples - 6 blue, and 5 red. I do not know what color the lost one is.

Thanks Kevin, you beat me to it. The card had real condition problems, but it was a genuine Ruth.

Thanks ...from what I remember, besides the little chunk missing, it wasn't all that bad. Sorry I didn't remember the fine print....It was a while ago, but maybe not quite as long as I thought...

I remember getting a little mailer about 10 yrs ago, advertising one for sale for 20k, that was missing a chunk of it, I think it was on the left side. Are you guys counting that one too? I think the flyer might have come from Jerry Smolin?? (but maybe not)

I might be able to find the flyer but am not sure if I still have it.

When is the first time a mention of one of these cards appears in print? I always find it interesting that some card sets go so long (Just So also) without being discovered.

Leon, that was the one that Barry had for sale. He was on his own then.

My dad was the first to catalog these cards and the Washington Times with Bob Lemeke in the early 1990s. Dan
