Purchased Cobb instead of Ruth thanks.
 

Purchased a Cobb for now, thanks to everyone.
I will come back strong when I'm ready to buy a nice Bambino.

you won't find any Ruth for 1000.00 unless it comes with a magnifying glass or ultra violet light so you could see it with that

Yeah I better kick it up to $1500-$2000. For $1000 I would be forced to buy a 1 grade. Want something a touch nicer.

Maybe try a strip?
 

You can have this one for less than $1K

Don't get to discouraged, there are a number of different Ruth's you could get for less than $1k, especially if you're willing to look at premiums, strip cards, or multi-player cards. Off the top of my head you could check out the 1929 Kashins, 35 Goudey, R309-1, w554, 1921 exhibits, etc. Most of these could probably be picked up in at least VG for $1k.

Purhased thanks

Well, what did you buy?

So, what did you get?

I got.....a Ty Cobb...the Sport Kings from BobbyW.
Sorry guys - I said "purchased the Ruth" only because I didn't want to waste anybody's time since I now need to regroup and get my funds back in order for the Ruth.

Everyone here is so helpful and responsive I had to update the listing until I was ready to pull the trigger.

Now I just need to sell one of my higher end Trouts first!
Then come back strong for the Bambino!
After hearing the feedback, I think I will go BIG (or go home) when it comes to Ruth.

Nice card, congrats!
