I think the caption one is factory cut since I have never seen it in strip form. If you search the auction history for Legendary, you will see a number of R315 Ruth's including many of the Type A no caption variety, and a number of the uncut strips. The only thing that I can think of is that there are not many high grade varieties of the no caption version. Regardless, still an awfully high price, I think.

could also just be 2 businessmen with nothing to do with the hobby or net 54, wanting a great looking card to go along with the Babe Ruth Autographs they won in the auction, and both thinking this was the pick of the litter and not giving up. We will never know.
