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.

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.

We should ask Doug G. He often says PSA has good reasons for all the stuff it does
