The blank back cards are 1931 W-UNC Strip cards however, Walter Ruether is not on the checklist. Is there a card number listed on the front of the card?

Being that the card is graded a 7 by scg would you assume its authentic?

It's probabely authentic. Does the card have a deep dark photo? Better yet can we see a scan?

Walter, Look what I found in one of my old boxes. I thought your blank back was the only one I had seen. (I think I could hide my own easter eggs) Anyway here's another one. This blank back Grimes card appears darker than the rest and autographed as well. I've seen Ruether(yours), Rixey(ebay), Grimes(mine) and a Sewell card in the VBC archives. No doubles of any as of yet. It also, like yours has the correct number and Grimes is not listed in the 1931 UNC strip cards. We may need to contact Mr. Lemke on this as I can't find them in the catalog. Does anybody else have one of these?
