Ruth card? Can't find any info

[FrankWakefield]

Yes, a picture cut out of a page of a Reach Baseball Guide. It's on very thin paper. Not really worth much, maybe a quarter... and that's a stretch. It's a shame a guide may have been cut up for that.

And it's good news, you now know what it is, and know not to get excited about it. It's good to know that before you bought it.

That's why I came here. Google wasn't a help. I was just thrown by the "grading". Haven't been buying or selling much lately, but I know where the knowledge is.

Wow that's a lot of cards in that sale. (making some assumptions about which sale it is.) Wide ranging collection — I love the strip cards. Would love to hear how it goes. If the few prices visible are from the sale and not pre-existing stickers, bargains will be tough.

I looked at it this morning. It didn't look like a cutout. It was thicker cardboard stock. Maybe a sample or promo card for the Reach Guide?

Can't remember the price they had on it but it was at least a few hundred dollars.

someone mounted it to cardboard. happens all the time.

Also please don't buy those autographs unless you're positive about them. The balls you name are probably the three most forged balls in the hobby.

Man that's a dangerous sale. Some great stuff cheek to cheek with bogus crap. Looks like a collector who just trusted everyone. BE CAREFUL!

I had some people in a FB group that have been around awhile and they all seemed to agree the autographs on the balls were good. Honestly, I'm not likely a buyer simply because they are expensive. Every autographed baseball I've got was signed in person. My problem with baseballs is so many of them fade. I've kept them away from direct lighting and sun exposure and still over 20 years or so many are rough. I have 2 Reggie Jackson balls that are barely readable at all. I'd guess I have about 10-12 HOF balls that still look good. Most of the others are 50% or worse.

He did have COA's on some but I didn't look at them because I wasn't a realistic buyer especially at those prices. It was more fun checking everything out for me.

Not just autographs (and I HATE several of the Ted Williams autographs) there are some bogus cards too.
