Default What flaws do you spot on this Ruth?

Posted By: Matt

Steve, you were one of the good guys to me on that board and I appreciate it. I specifically looked for paper loss, but could find one. The only place that the ink is missing is the line on the back that reads "This is one of a series..." The "n" in "one" is missing a little ink and it makes it look like an "r" instead of an "n". If PSA grades it down for that, I have no problems whatsoever. It's their standards and they set them. However, I have a PSA 4 Hack Wilson from the same set that's missing a decent sized piece of paper on the reverse. The front of the Hack Wilson is also nowhere close to the Ruth. If the Wilson is a 4, then the Ruth should at least be a 4.5, just as GAI graded it. As for SGC, I've thought of giving them a shot but I'm going to wait a while before doing anything. I've been a lonely man without my Babe, LOL. I'm picking it up at the post office on Monday so I can scan the back then.

I really don't know where things went wrong on the PSA board. I did get pi$$ed off when Allen posted on one of my threads that I was an idiot and I called him out on it. Things went bad after that. It felt like there were about 7 or 8 people that just decided it was open season on me. Now, despite the fact that I paid my $100 yearly membership to PSA and have spent another $300 on submissions, they won't let me use their message board which is a part of what I paid for. If you read everything that your PSA membership entitles you to, the message board is one of them. I was in the middle of working out a trade with another member too. Now I can't contact them to complete the deal.I wrote to their customer service asking for a refund of my annual dues. If they don't refund it, I paid with my Capital One credit card and I'm going to dispute the charge due to services not rendered.

I hope I can discuss cards on this forum in a friendlier environment.
