grading the Ruth
I personally doubt it is authentic, but if you ever have a card of questionable authenticity, financially I would think it makes more sense to send it to Beckett first since they tend to base their fees on turnaround time rather than cost of the item. While I don't believe that Beckett is as good as PSA or SGC, I would assume they would do a reasonably competent job of identifying a card as authentic. If it is not, you wasted $40. If a card is real and Beckett slabs it, you can always cross to PSA.
