Epic Pre-War Find

Here's a cool thing about the collection, if you like numbers. We know that the 33G #144 Ruth is double-printed, and the other three poses are singles. Sure enough, this collection has two #144's and one each of the other three. That's perfect mathematical distribution!

PSA couldn't even put that 1916 Ruth in a proper fitting slab...jeez.

That’s why I would have used SGC!

I love these two lines from the article:

"She wasn’t as sure about the collection of black and white cards with ads from a St. Louis department store on the back.

“We just thought, ‘oh, these are Famous & Barr cards, who would want these?'”

They don't have one and the cost is way too high to make one for an issue like this. i think people would be shocke if they new the cost of a new holder to be made. it is crazy a lot more than you would guess.

What? Sorry that's weak. PSA is supposed to be the most professional, the foremost grader, authenticator, and the market leader. That card if shipped to someone is going to slide around in there and look like crap at a minimum; or get damaged at worst.
