Hi Jim, great pickup on the W511. I wonder if the font for yours is different than the one that I have or whether your card was stamped a bit lighter? Regardless, as you said, the caption variation is really tough to find.

Thanks Gary!!! - I think mine is just stamped a bit lighter

Nice cards! I like the w511 Ruth's. An overlooked thing about these is many have the U&U Underwood & Underwood stamp on the bottom left. Resembles the larger/clearer exhibit style U&U Ruth from the 1920s.

Since we are doing a Ruth thread it seems, i picked this up yesterday at the Philly show. Pickings were a bit slim but i was happy with this example since the colors and centering are decent.IMG_6316.jpg

Its my first playing era ruth as he was never a focus for me unfortunately.
