That Ruth card has given a lot of buyers heartburn because of all the fakes out there. I wouldn't touch one with a ten foot pole. I overheard a conversation at the National this year between a guy who bought a raw Ruth rookie about a month before the show and was really proud of it, only to have his heart broken when a dealer at the show carefully examined and sadly shook his head and told the owner that he had purchased a fake. Ordinarily I feel comfortable with a card's authenticity if it is in an SGC or PSA holder but on this one particular card I'm taking a pass.
