Wounded Ruth--how many of you have settled on a Babe?

Exhibitman · #1 07-21-2023, 05:58 AM

Crazy to think that all of us would happily step into a time machine and buy every single beater we could have gotten at 2011 prices.

I got these long before it was fashionable:

I did not know PSA would qualify a 1...I mean, come on, it's a 1.

This one after wrecked Ruths became au courant:

Sobering to think I paid more for the last one than the others combined. Are we at the point of 'get in or get left out' with most Ruth cards?

I think the get in or get out ship has sailed. I am stuck in limbo. Here is a trimmed Butterfinger that I think I paid $200 for, before I knew it was trimmed. I got it for around $200, so in today's world, probably haven't lost any money.

Actually Adam, that last Ruth...unless the back is mangled or I missed something, that's the best Poor Ruth I think I've seen recently! Great card!

At least the nail hole in mine is nicely centered.

The only Ruth in my collection (unfortunately). Very faded and rounded corners, but it's authentic

Thanks. It's pretty decent all around:

Buy the card, not the holder...I think I read that somewhere
