1928 Fro Jo Ruths

I don't think they would holder them if they weren't sure. I am sending some to them soon to be graded.

I have 2 graded by becket, both are real. Just bought another graded by becket, im hoping its real too, lol. 3 more to go for the set!

If SGC says we are no longer confident that we can determine real ones from fakes, not sure how much confidence one should have in any of the other grading companies. Maybe others see it differently.

I assume the Beckett ones are fine.

I had the same concerns and sold off my Ruth Fro Joys last year. Even when I felt I knew what I was looking at I always had doubts lingering.

When I see a graded 1928 Ruth card show up on eBay with a $99.00 BIN I have to wonder.

If anyone can point me to another graded Ruth card from the peak of his career going to less than $100 please do. I'd be interested in buying it.

You are mistaking if you think those grip cards aren't real. They are but who wants a card of a hand grip? Education/experience is the key here. I almost pulled the trigger on the others but already have some and the prices aren't that low for the conditions. (no grip cards please)

One of the amusing side-bars to the set is card number #1 (I think) of Ruth sitting down in the dugout. The photographer politely asks if Ruth wouldn't mind taking his gum out during the shoot. The Babe, always obliging, parks it on top of his cap where it can be clearly seen in the photo. Great stuff.

Don't make me get the black light out.
