Hey Leon, here's a 1928 newspaper Ad I came across. From what I understand
the Ruth Fro-Joy's were distributed from August 6-11 in 1928 this ad ran just after
that on august 30 1928.

I’m a baseball card collector; not an investor or flipper. My intended holding period is my life, so I never sell a card unless I upgrade it. I prefer SGC over PSA - grading, value (when purchasing a card), the flip, and overall presentation.

As a collector, I love that SGC cards are cheaper. It allows me to obtain more cards and/or higher graded cards with my collecting budget. For selfish reasons, I hope SGC never reaches par with PSA. I’ll gladly pay a discounted price for an SGC 5 v. a PSA 5 - all things considered, e.g. same centering, eye appeal, etc.
