It's clearly the exact same card in Post #1 as shown in this recent Ebay listing.

I just get a bit suspicious whenever I hear the word "estate sale". I do note the OP's only other post on the Forum is similarly looking for advice re: a Green Cobb "found in a binder" recently.

I'll be the first to hold my hands up and apologize if this is my cynicism run amok.
It would seem so. The person selling the Ruth was also selling the reprints I had pointed out in this thread http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=215121. That seller mentions an Estate Sale as well as a 1910 Joe Jackson (along with some really bad T206 reprints) as does the OP.

I believe the Yiddish word is chutzpah
