I know! It was eBay mad-money. Believe it or not, eBay issued me a $1000 credit toward any of their merchandise! They felt sorry for me due to a high-risk thousand dollar transaction that went wrong, so they issued that credit. Funny thing is, they covered the bad transaction with their guarantee, so I wasn't really out anything at all. That credit enabled me to buy the #144 Ruth card sight unseen. I mean it was one of those rare eBay listings that didn't feature a picture to go with the ad. I figured I couldn't go wrong playing with eBay's own money, so I bought the card. It is a nice card, but has some light water staining around some of the edges. I cracked it out of the holder in order to soak the stain away, but the feel of the card made me think it wasn't authentic. So I sent it to PSA before going through the trouble of soaking it. Since PSA has reholdered it with the original grade, I have acquired a case of cold feet about soaking it, and I'm quite happy with the grade.
