All cards with cert numbers beginning with a '0xxx' were graded in the early days at PSA when their standards were much much looser. Grades are often two full grades higher than they would hand out today. Your Ruth, while still a great card that you should be proud to own, would have zero chance at a 2 today. It probably wouldn't even get a 1.5. They've just moved the goalposts on us that much. But fortunately for you, it's still in a 2 holder, which makes it worth more on the market than it would if it were regraded today.

I thought I heard they will re-grade if it does not meet their current grading standards? Maybe I heard wrong…
