Posted By: <b>Botn</b><p>Hi Dan,<BR><BR>Aside from being trimmed on at least two sides (top and bottom) I am not 100% sure this is an original card. Not even our friends at PSA would holder this card.<BR><BR>Greg<BR><BR>

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>I thought the top-right corner a telltale sign of a 1932 US Caramel reproduction.

Posted By: <b>J Levine</b><p>I agree with Wesley...isn't that top right corner where the red is missing the tell-tale on the Ruth reprints. Nice doctoring job to make it look older. It is also definitely trimmed or cut to the wrong size. I bet if you held it in your hand the cardboard would be too thin as well.

Posted By: <b>dan</b><p>Yes Wesley, you are correct. I run auctions just to point the white out on these fake Ruth's. Sad, very sad.
