Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>i am no expert on this issue.but i like them alot. i do not know of reprints from this set.now,photo/lazer copies and stolen scans are another matter.i have 2 yellow background 514's and the black border line is visible and it is visible on the collins i scanned also. there is a bleed ala goudey on my red ones.i do not see the black border line in the ruth.<img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1125350130.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1125350167.JPG">

Posted By: <b>Seth B.</b><p>I have 2 W514s, one with a red background, one with a blue background, and both have the black outline clearly visible bled through onto the back. The dirty rubbing on the back of this Ruth card is a bit fishy. Maybe it's just the scan, but I think the color is a bit off, too, and the black outlines aren't as crisp. But maybe it's just me...

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>this is a card that should be authenticated,if it is sold in an on line auction. that is since you can't touch it or put it up to light.

Posted By: <b>BlackSoxFan</b><p>Dennis -<br />I would agree that in this situation i'm surprised it's not authenticated. I wouldn't think that everyone who sold a w514 ruth would need to authenticate it in order to sell it, but it's a new seller and questionable scans and that is why i raised the issue. There are a good number of sellers that i wouldn't be surprised if they listed a W514 that wasn't authenticated.<br /><br><br>Regards,<br />Black Sox Fan<br /><br />- - - - - - - - -<br /><br />I'm Smart Enough To Know, There Are A Lot Of People Who Know More Than I Know<br /><br /><a href="http://www.blacksoxfan.com" target="new">BlackSoxFan.com</a><br /><a href=mailto:shoelessjoe@blacksoxfan.com?subject=Ne t54>email me</a>

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>Here's my SGC 1.5 Ruth (writing on back). The yellow background is much brighter ... his card could be authentic, but it doesn't look as good as it could.<img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1125362854.JPG">
