Those would have come in handy today for my daughter's Ivy League tuition. I can name numerous more like the 48 Leaf Paige, 48 Leaf Robinson PSA 6, 32 US Caramel Ruth PSA 6, over 40 1933 Ruths, and a few more. That is life and what collecting is about. You win some and you lose some.
I, too, bought a raw M101-5 Sporting News Ruth from Lew Lipset many moons ago. Had it personally graded by Derek Grady at a Ft. Washington show, where it received a 70 ex+. Consigned to Kevin Struss and sold at a Mastro auction for about $15,000. Probably fetch about 10x that today. And so it goes.

Wasnt it though back then a bit of uncertainty that the Ruth 'rookie' may not always be considered a rookie for the collecting masses. It appears now thats not an issue anymore.
