Bought it a couple years ago as you see it now. I think I got a pretty sweet deal on it for 2 reasons...

1 - it's in a GAI slab (which is terrifying when you purchase for all the known reasons)... but the 1st thing I did was measure it up when it came and it checked out (whew).

2 - I'm not a back of card guy. I want clear, easy on the eyes front cards... so anytime I can buy a 4-5 looking front graded a 1-2 because of back issues, I go for it.

I'm usually weary of PSA marked cards for sale... because sometimes you end up paying more for them because of the #. But to each his own. That Ruth being auctioned off is still very sweet and rare as hell. The centering would throw me a bit more than the mark on the back though. Just my own style.
