I'm soooooo glad I got out of "type" collecting years ago...with all these new types out there I'd never be able to keep up!

Agree that the condition is "wholly" less than desirable. Reminds me of the very well centered but heavily creased 1969 white letter Mantle I bought for $30 in the '90's. One that looked just as bad, had worse centering and was TPG'd "poor" just sold for $199.00. And that Ruth is certainly far, far rarer than the Mantle. Something to be said for just having an (any?) example of a super rare and desirable card?

Best wishes,

It was hard to keep up with even the old types let alone the new ones!!

I am not aware of any of these W626 Sun Pictures Ruth cards existing. Hopefully one will turn up in the future.
