Hi Richard.
Several things you can do to ensure the Ruth you buy is legit. Buy from only trustworthy sellers/dealers. That's rule #1. When you get the Ruth in your hand, compare it to other cards from the same set under a loupe. Examine everything from the paper stock to the printing techniques. If it's a graded card, look for prior transactions involving your card on card target.com.
Lastly, if you have any questions about the card, post scans of the card here, front and back. There's no better resource available to you if you're unsure about the authenticity of a card.
Hope this helps!
Bill
