Interesting article. It's sort of perplexing that whomever it was writing the article seemed to think they are more valuable than Leighton had estimated. The few figures thrown out seem about right to me, but what do I know too? I love to hear about new to the hobby pre-wwII card finds. Thanks for posting it.

Neat find, but definitely not worth 6 figures. The 5 Ruth's aren't worth $5000 either although I think the W519 Ruth probably went around $1000. It looks like just collect probably purchased the collection or took it on consignment. Here's the W551 Ruth that sold recently: Link

Torres might not count his eggs before they are hatched, no matter how many chickens are going to come out. He rents that apartment and may have to answer to a landlord who might be unhappy that he ripped it apart (and who I would think is also the legal owner of those cards).

You're probably right, he's going to have to refund the money and pay for the wall. Hope the cell phone was worth it.
