It turns out the photo of the back was switched with another cert for a higher-graded card (91183999, instead of 91183996), and I didn't look closely at the numbers. Live and learn.

Did they send you the actual scan of the back?

No, I figured out later that the scan of the back was swapped with the back of a PSA 2 that they had in the same auction.

Dang, that's kind of a big oopsie on Mile High's part.
I was one of the bidders on that card as well and didn't notice the cert numbers not matching front/back either.

I suspect other people did notice the error and bid accordingly, or people really are just paying for the grades. The PSA 2 Ruth went for $11.3K, even with the wrong back pictured.

I like the 1.5 - Ruth’s face is clearer
