Default 1923 Ruth Exhibit - Lipset Auction

Posted By: Josh K.

Unfortunately Jim, you have not answered the basic question on everyone's mind - what makes you so sure that a Ruth card with a border is from 1923 rather than 1921. I will repeat what I said earlier - according to Lemke 1921 exhibits are found both WITH AND WITHOUT A BORDER.

To me, this means that a white border on the Ruth card does not conclusively date it to 1923. Unless you can explain this, I doubt you get many bidders willing to pay 3k for a card that normally sells in the 1k range (even with a border - such as the one in the vintage authentics auction late last year).
