Ruth M101-5?

Well, I gotta admit, I don't have much knowledge about this card but if I'm sitting in the jury right now I think Todd just won the case without even needing a vote.

I have collected these cards on and off for thirty years. Everything Todd says is absolutely spot on. Nuf said!

I've been heavily involved in the hobby for just under 30 years also, and don't even pretend to know everything there is to know, even with studying virtually everything I can get my hands on in accordance with what I'm seeking from it. If you know it all, you can call me

Impressed,

Larry

lol! I don't think anyone here is even qualified to cast a vote, except David, and he'd have to conduct an examination of the item.

Larry, please, why won’t you post a scan? Your honor, please instruct the witness to answer the question.

Oh, that’s right, you will do so in due course, and you have absolutely no reason to hurry, given the vast riches you need to enjoy first. I’m sure that impresses so many folks here, and completely explains why you can take a good portion of an evening posting to the forum but not any time to post a scan.

But what about your love of the hobby and your affection for net54? Surely you realize that posting and discussing scans of your one-of-a-kind prototype Ruth could rock the hobby and possibly lead to important new research. I guess you’re just a low-key guy who prefers to keep his collection to himself. But wait, if that’s true why we were told more than five years ago, in a thread you chose to start yourself, that scans of your treasure were available?

You state you began getting heavily into the hobby just under 30 years ago, which means you were just getting “heavily” into it in the late 80's–the same time you claim to have made your momentous observations. Is it possible maybe you were not all that schooled in m101s, and Ruth rookies in particular, to know with any degree of expertise what you were seeing? Seems it would be easy enough to determine if you just show us a scan of your card. A scan–no pressure to sell–just a flippin’ scan.

LOL I'm rooting for Larry on this one...Just bought a loupe 16x, I should get one anyway.

This is pretty clearly a fake given the artificial wear. None of the other discussions negate that. I wouldn’t waste money on this one.
