Sanella Ruth

[JoeDfan]

I bought one of the rare kind a few years ago, in mid-grade PSA, and I LOVE it!!!
A fantastic and affordable card of Ruth in his playing days, IMO.
I have never regretted that purchase! Doooo it!!!!

Another one I love, and should probably grab one soon, is the Japanese Shonen Ruth.

Thanks! They are actually becoming more difficult to locate especially in higher grade. The seller that I acquired mine from always used to have an example of these cards on hand. That was 5 years ago and before. However now days it is a rare occasion to have him advertise any example of this type of Ruth. Good luck with your search.

Great looking card. The Type 1 and 3 seem to be much rarer than does the Type 2 so something to keep in mind in terms of pricing. Type 2 has a pop of 853, 1 has 162, and 3 has 91.

Here’s my Type 1

For those thinking of picking one up, do it. If you do a search on Net54 about this card you will see some early discussions about how common and inexpensive it was. Almost everything was high grade. A few years ago I sold an SGC 60 to a friend just for what I thought it would cost to replace it. It took me 3 years and a 70% price increase. Most listings are for lower grades also now.

I've never been into the non US Ruth cards. Same for a few of his tobacco industry cards. Were never collected by kids in the US, and always just seem gimmicky to me. While prices have gone up, there still are not in great demand. See them all the time.
