There has been something of a surprising turn of events in this situation of the original thread. I have once again attached the front and back scans of this "card" in the OP, and apologies for that. What happened is that I actually found the buyer who purchased this from ebay. It so happens that he recently purchased another Ruth card from me, and I noticed that his feedback number matched the feedback number of the buyer of the Spalding Ruth, so I sent him an email and asked him if he was the buyer of it. He said that he was, and I informed him that I believed that PSA holdered the incorrect card, and what he had was simply a page from a Spalding Reach baseball guide. The buyer then opened a case on ebay, and also contacted PSA with this information.
Well, PSA Research came back and said that the item he had was correctly a 1926 Spalding Champion Babe Ruth card (stats back), and the scan that I showed in post #2 in this thread was a card with a mislabeled flip. It shouldn't be a "Stats back" variation, but a "1926 copyright" variation.
I contacted PSA today, and spoke with the PSA rep who worked w/ the buyer. I gave her the story that that card was from a baseball guide, and could not be from the Spalding Champion set, as I emailed her other examples from that set, and they look nothing like what the buyer had.
So basically, what PSA wants now is more information. For the scans provided below, does anyone know with certainty which baseball guide that is from? If anyone has a picture of the cover and even better a picture of that page still in the book, would be great. Thanks again!
