Posted By: <b>kyle lentine</b><p>I was hoping I could get a board opinion on what they felt these are worth. I have my opinion but it is harder with lower grade cards. I bought the Ruth a few years ago and the cobb about 8 years ago and then encapusulated them. ( I know some members hate the idea) I was just curious how much they may have appreciated over that time<BR>The Ruth has rounded corners and a light crease through his shoulders and wrists that doesnt go to the back of the card. The Cobbs corners are worn as well and he has a crease below his lower lip that goes to the back. (creases may not be visible on scan, although I tried to show them)<BR>Again just wondering what the boards opinion was on the value of these<BR>thanks<BR><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1049073059.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1049073606.JPG">

Posted By: <b>kyle lentine</b><p>I though the Ruth would have received a 30 Good 2. I think maybe because the corners are more rounded?? You never really know how these things will come back

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>To me, the Ruth is in lower condition than the Cobb. The yellow background of the Ruth has a dirty look to it. Maybe it's just a much more significant loss of gloss than the Cobb has.

Posted By: <b>Tom Boblitt</b><p>what they're worth.....I'll shoot from the hip......I think the Cobb is probably in the $350-$500 range. It's got decent color and a relatively clean back. The Ruth is probably in the same range to maybe a little higher. But.....they're both very popular cards and could sell for a little more. I think the slabbing actually hurts their value in the condition shown. Just my opinion, which, with 25 cents will still not get you a cup of coffee.....
