Need Help with Identification of Ruth

[vthobby]

I though the EXACT same thing Leon!

Off to PSA it goes........if you want to waste another $75 or whatever else it costs to have them tell you the EXACT same thing.

SGC is reliable on these sort of things and to think that PSA will slab it is naive at best.

Good luck!

Peace, Mike

Did you black light yours Leon?

I get what your saying but your dismissing what I am and your making it sound like you know more about something than I do. Which I beg to differ, as you say we can agree to disagree.

Mine was sent to PSA and got an N9.

N-9 Don't Grade - When we do not grade an issue. The cards may be oversized or an obscure issue.

You are right, I am being too dismissive. My mistake and apology on that. It is my opinion the premium is on a vellum type paper not put out until later than the 1940s. But I could be wrong as I am human. If it gets identified as something more period (contemporary to the originals), I will say I was wrong. I have been before and will be again!!
Please PM me and let's see if we can get to the bottom of it. I have an idea.

PS. to answer about the black light, I am sure I did it to your card but it wasn't conclusive to me. More times than not, in my experiences, fluorescing doesn't tell the story. It can, and does, but not most times.

Thanks for the PM Leon, I appreciated that.

I don't want to get away from the original point here about the OP's item. I think your right on just sending it to PSA and find out what they say. Like I mentioned mine got an N9 which made me think they didn't know what it was either as if it was a straight reprint then I would have assumed an N4 (which has happened a few times, lol) and kept my money instead of giving a refund.

Hopefully the OP will get a more definitive answer on his.

I would say Steve it's exactly what you defined it as. A gathering for discussion. It's ultimately up to the OP on what they do with the information given at that point.

I appreciate several of the responses for helpful feedback on this. I was convinced that I was going to send to PSA as a 5x7 photo 1929 R316 due to exact size and comparisons to the examples classified as 5 x 7 photos, but now I am unsure on which way to go as I am already out $100 from my SGC submittal a while back. I am not a naive collector. I have quite an extensive collection which is 25% pre war and about 75% 1950's through 1960's but this is a bit out of my knowledge base. Again thanks for all of those whom have left positive comments.
