poor 1933 goudey ruth opinion

[Bpm0014]

The guy who owns the $25 card in question here, and the guy that bought the $650 Ruth card with back damage on Ebay (2 threads above).........should get together and put BOTH cards in a holder back to back. Nice front, nice back. Problem solved! You're welcome....

Sorry but all Authentic grades are not valued the same. I honestly think you could get $300-$400 for the card in a
pSA or SGC authentic holder but it would not be an easy sell.

Seriously, that's actually a really good observation. If I had the $650 Ruth, I would pay a premium (not $750, but something more than $25, $100?? maybe), just to get the clean back. That would be a cool display seeing front and back together side-by-side. In this case the whole (or two halves) would be greater than the sum of the parts.

Agreed. Would make a good display piece in a frame or something. That is the ONLY way I would be interested in that card.

Well, we're five pages deep now and we still don't know what you want an opinion on. Was there a question here? If the question is one of value, not a single person has agreed with your estimate, yet you still "know it's worth at least $500." Why ask for opinions if you know the answer already and aren't interested in listening to opinions?

ETA: I realize these are largely rhetorical questions at this point

[richardcards]

yes I asked for opinions but not anymore since I get estimates of $10 and $25
and insults that my card is garbage.

So you want opinions as long as they agree with you? I'm not sure if the card is real and even if it was, does anyone think that one of the big three would holder it? If it is real I think it would go for over 20$ for people who want a filler or a real Ruth. A Goudey Ruth with a much better picture, though trimmed, went for like 375 last month.
