Hi Dan,

Aside from being trimmed on at least two sides (top and bottom) I am not 100% sure this is an original card. Not even our friends at PSA would holder this card.

I thought the top-right corner a telltale sign of a 1932 US Caramel reproduction.

I agree with Wesley...isn't that top right corner where the red is missing the tell-tale on the Ruth reprints. Nice doctoring job to make it look older. It is also definitely trimmed or cut to the wrong size. I bet if you held it in your hand the cardboard would be too thin as well.

- pops out rather than in. I'm guessing this occurs because the forger was over-anxious and started adding the aging effects before the glue was dry.

Yes Wesley, you are correct. I run auctions just to point the white out on these fake Ruth's. Sad, very sad.
