Ruth Fake?
So the card in question will be in an estate sale this weekend. The guy just sent me the photos and I'm looking for opinions regarding the card's authenticity and value. As always, thanks.

fake! i'm a complete noob, but i'm pretty sure that the reprints have the red bar along the bottom in line with the picture, where a genuine goudey will have the red bar slightly wider than the actual pic.
am i learning?!?! |

So, perhaps the bidding should begin at .01 and go in increments of .02 until someone reaches a mind boggling 1.00

It looks fake to me. Specifically, the boarders are much whiter than the white on Ruth.
Lots of fake/reprint/counterfeit Goudey Ruths for sale out there. One of the most counterfeited cards and some are deceptive too. If you're unfamiliar with the card and buying online, it's best to buy it graded. However, if you have genuine Goudeys on hand, even commons, reprints are pretty obvious in person. For example, I had some player signed reprints a while back and the cards were about 3x glossier and 2x brighter/whiter than the real cards I had. Obvious as reprints at first site.
