Gorgeous cards Al. I particularly like the mask. Once I land my next job, I think I may try to pick up a copy of that as well as his Plak stuff.

I see you have a copy of his "Who am I" issue. Do you by any chance know what PSA's "re-issue with caption" variation is? I purchased a copy of each, and the fronts and backs look identical. I know that certain cards were issued without the coating on the front and the writing in the bubble on the back, like your Ruth, but this does not seem to be the case with this variation. It's had me confused since I picked mine up.

Default Who Am I
Not sure what you are referring to on the variation. I have a scratched and unscratched Ruth from the Who Am I set, and the Ruth from the 1954 Look and See set, which using the same photo, but with different front captions, backs ( and slightly different size).

I am unfamiliar with any "re-issue with caption" variation, and would like to know more

I do notice that my clean Ruth has no instructions in the bottom of the ? on the back ( it is blank), which differs from the disguised version which does have the instructions

I have scans of the regular next to the "re-issue with caption," but the scans are over the 19.5 KBs permitted by the site. Unfortunately, my computer won't allow me to crop the scans or otherwise reduce them. If you'd like to see them, feel free to PM me your email address and I can send them that way.

I didn't think it had been re-issued. The card always mystified me a bit though, given that you could clearly see part of the disguise on it. I could not understand how they had made that mistake. I called them to ask about it and was told something to the extent of, "it must have been a later issue of this card." Kind of surprising. That said, I got a good deal on the card (didn't pay a premium of any kind for the label), and it fits nicely into my collection.

Default Reissues
Larry--other than the Ruth---were any of the other 3 baseball subjects reissued without a disguise ?

I skimmed eBay and noticed two uncoated Ruth's, both of which had been graded by PSA. Neither of them has the "re-issue" designation. It makes me wonder even further why PSA gave my card the "re-issue" designation, if it is not marking clear re-issues this way.

Default Why OPSA Does What It Does
We should ask Doug G. He often says PSA has good reasons for all the stuff it does
