1933 Goudey Ruth (yellow background)???

If I were interested in that card, from that seller, they and I would be having a nice chat on the phone before I bid. It's as easy as that.

Under Feed Back as a buyer, it shows he bought a Galasso 1933 Goudey Ruth #53 reprint on December 19.

This card looks like it would grade around VG/EX.

If it is not real then how did he get in a PSA case without frosted edges? I am not defending the seller but I am simply wondering if fakes can get THAT complex where they can avoid frosting I would like to know.

I wouldnt trust anything suspicious coming from the State College PA area. A few years ago, I had to pay a personal visit to a scammer, who happened to be a college student selling bogus stuff for some big scammer, who was giving him material to sell. I saw other auctions from sellers around that area over the years, that were bogus. Probably the top guys mo, get college kids looking for money to sell his garbage.

I would rather not post it up for anyone to see, but if you have worked much with plastic, there is a simple way to remove the frosting.

you just answered my question. That is scary as hell that they can get that clever.

How can you tell that the edges are NOT frosted (especially with the near white background the seller uses for the photos)?

I can't see any frosting and I can't tell if there is none either, the photo sucks, but I was mainly seeing if there is a process of sliding one in without frosting or reversing it.

Cool, no problem -- it is tough to tell with that photo. I guess regardless, and as others have pointed out, the card looks like crap as well.

I don't know if this is what they do, but I found that as soon as I received my submissions back from PSA, if I didn't like a grade, I popped the card out immediately, and hardly ever frosted a case. I wonder if it is because whatever they use to seal the case, hasn't cured yet. Just my observations regarding their cases.
