Insane Babe Ruth card on Ebay

[mrreality68]

That is eBay for you.

But that series of cards is a great set as for its authenticity I am a bad judge of that

Yep, I had a snipe on this auction, and I consider this thread outing also. I doubt that I would have won the auction anyway even if it weren't outed.

I think this auction is a case where the ebay authenticity guarantee really helps. Folks are more comfortable bidding on it knowing that a TPG will evaluate the card. Saying that, to me, the card looks genuine, and would probably grade around a 2 or so. If you look at the other cards in that box, there's another Uncle Jack's card there, and a common one. For scammers, virtually every card they sell would be some top HOFer, so the fact they have commons from the same set is a positive sign. The cardstock also looks good, and what you would expect for this set.

Just email him and ask to end early. That's what a real dirt bag would do!

Scammers don't have 47,770 perfect feedback either.

Looks like no card sales either..just books etc. Since they didn't know what it what based on the title and not grading it; they just threw it up there to see what would happen. Probably no idea what they had.

So cool though. Love knowing this stuff is still out there in old boxes waiting to be found!!!

It may have been someone walked into the book store with a old box of cards

I like the Python-esque -Cards not appearing in this auction- photo.

Hot damn that’s some card!!! Awesome to just find in a box! It’s gonna sell for close to 40 grand.

Weird time to end a high dollar auction though.

The Ruth definitely appears authentic to me, as well as the rest of the slew of 30's cards in the box seen in one of the listing photos.

Inquiring minds would like to know what is appropriate to take on a Ruth Outing? Are plastic utensils ok, or is actual silverware required to meet NAVROA (North American Vintage Ruth Outing Association) guidelines?

Only fine china, and real silverware, for this outing.
