My two favorite cards in the world. Both notoriously off-centered. Centered.

Why is the Ruth card only graded a Poor?

I am surprised that the Ruth is in a case like that. Lots of room to move around.

The "baggie" inside keeps it from moving very much.

MUCH THANKS, fellas. In doing my homework on the #311 over the years, I am astounded by how few examples have great centering. Left-right, top-bottom, tilt, they are almost always hurt in the eye appeal department by centering.

In fact, I found only one 6, one 7, one 8, then the 8.5s to 10s that had perfect centering. Which meant those would go for insane sums if they ever hit market after this 4.5.

I did NOT want to be in the position of seeking an even higher graded dead centered Mantle AFTER this 4.5 hammered. Hence, if I ever wanted a centered #311 I could afford, this one had to be it. I bid accordingly.

Alex, surprisingly the Ruth is very fixed in there. Hasn't ever moved a bit. Must be the way the holder hugs it.

PBS, it has a spot of paper loss on the back, here's a pic below. Still, an insanely harsh grade-- when you see so many 2s, 3s, and 4s looking like they were mauled by a dog.

Nice cards. I had both but sold my '52 set. But my favorites I still have. The Ruth and the 1888 N28 complete set of 50. But it's nice to fulfill a dream.

Whole 52 Set? Damn. I'm done with just the one example from that monster. Sometimes I'm afraid if I get just one more card from that set I'll be sucked into completing it!
