With all due respect..a pm, email or private call might have been a better way of pointing out a "mistake" rather than a public tweet/social media.

It looks like the same image to me. As stated, the likeness could have been used to portray the babe though(possible). I would never buy as Ruth though.

Btw.. hi Robert. Pick up any good Ruth/gehrig tour photos?

Please don't make excuses for mistakes. It was never and will never be Ruth, not even close, when compared to the Marquard (*exact same) image. The seller has known it's NOT Ruth for a LONG time. No excuse for PSA on this one or the seller. PSA should correct their mistake. There is my half cent.

The problem is there isn't 2 sides. And I wouldn't let that seller be a member here. If I know, firsthand, someone is committing fraud I don't think they should be on this board.
