I went back and forth on whether to get it, I had pretty much talked myself out of getting the card when my wife stepped in and convinced me to get it. I am glad she did!!!! Its one of my favorite cards in my collection and now my son has grown to appreciate it more then me!!!
When Tim Carroll made a baseball card cut up version, I had to have!!! I wanted to be able to appreciate the card everyday when I see it hanging in my sons room!!!

Wow Troy! I'm not sure what's more impressive...that you have an M101 Sporting News Ruth....or that you have a wife that encouraged you but it!
That is a true showpiece card/investment. And I love that you have the Tim Carroll art to display.
I'm not sure anyone can top your "first Ruth" in terms of quality! An amazing card!
