Most affordable Ruth cards

[packs]

Hey I don’t love the 35 Goudey either but it’s Ruth’s final card and is pretty affordable in even mid grade!

I do think the Kashin is the best alternative for a really great image and a cheaper price.

The lowest current BIN for a Kashin on eBay is $2,500. I’ll definitely watch for it in auction.

I can see why, I'd sell it for a very affordable price if I had one! Haha, Kidding.

I agree, on the kashin, looks like you can get one for under 1000 raw in 1ish condition. Add that to my list of ones I mentioned. For some reason I'd thought even rough looking 1s were something more like $2000 minimum.

Ruth has been one of my main collecting focii the last 6-8 years or so. Personally I believe most of the foreign issues are less desirable to most collectors. Many serve as "gateway" cards to get into a period ruth. The pandemic caused a run on many of these but to me they are the least desirable of all ruth cards.

If you're going to go foreign...I live the WWG's as a cheaper, rarer alternative to goudeys...I DO realize these are much more $$$$ than you're looking for. And I like the shonen postcard. Most of the others are quite common and can be found raw or still in original stamp books like the sanellas or bulgarias.

I live raw fro joys...raw quaker premiums...maybe raw strips in your desirted price range.

Good luck in your hunt!!
