honus3415Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken, but I seem to recall having seen an "authentic" complete Fro-joy Ruth sheet listed in one of the major sports auctions somewhere within the last 5 years.
Based on my recollection of the photo included in that auction, the Fro-joy cards had a black line which represented a border around each of the cards.
I don't recall ever seeing a graded Ruth Fro-joy with any reminance of those lines. Now this would be understandable for those centered and trimmed on the small side. But would likely indicate "questionable authenticity" for those which are off-center like the one shown in the BVG holder.
Is anyone able to provide a photo of an authentic complete sheet for a comparison of the distance away from the picture that the border line was supposed to be? It seems to me if a black border line did exist for these cards, it would show on the BVG card which seems badly overcut on the right.
