Here is the quote from JustCollect (btw, the 2 owners are good friends and advertisers on the board).....

"1928 G. Ruth Candy Co. #5 Babe Ruth Blank Back PSA 1. This is the only card graded PSA 1, and there is only 1 example graded higher."


They really should look a little closer at the auction material. This is an amateur mistake. I know they run a fine company, JustCollect, but this really shouldn't happen, imho. (no excuse on the PSA side either)...I could see calling a W card a different W card, as some of the sets like W516 have many iterations and look similar to others, but this isn't even close.....regards

At what point do they yank this auction?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is that card and was it hand cut but not labelled so by PSA?

Sagard, PSA got the set completely wrong. This is a George Ruth Candy Co. card -


The card show is a strip card... W516 I think

Winner should send it in for the .5 bump

I was going to resubmit my PSA 4 T206 Walter Johnson, hoping they'd bump the label up to a Maple Crispette.

The card looked long to me, anyway.
