LOL.... before I sold my first collection a few years ago I remember finagling bills and such so I could fit in my purchases. Never had any money in the bank but had some nice cards . Such is the life of collecting. I said I wasn't going to do it again and probably have spent more than I wanted to, in a few months, than I should have in several years. I keep telling myself I am not going to continue buying so much and then I see something like the Ambrotype, the 1903 AL Pass or the W575 pack of cards that I won't see again (probably ever)....So I really have no choice .
On these grades, if it were me, I would pick the best looking card in a 3 or below. Show me very many 3s that look better than this.. Collect the cards, especially in this grade, and not the holders....would be my way. But if it is a 3 you have to have, I can appreciate that too. Have fun and all is good..

I would be interested in seeing it to keep in the back of my mind for consideration, but probably wouldn't be able to purchase it for a few weeks if I wanted it.

I spent over $15k on cards since May 1st on ebay, so I need to take a step back and make some more sales from my business. I'm interested in seeing it, but don't want to get your hopes up that I will purchase it next week.

If you want to PM me your asking price and scans, that would obviously help me in deciding my next Ruth purchase.
