Fresh To Market 1916 M101-5 Blank Back Babe Ruth Rookie Card PSA 3

Contact Nat Turner directly and show him the card. Worth a shot. He was great with me when I had an issue that he resolved. That card needs to be shown properly.

They have 3d printed inserts for cards like this now. This is embarrassing from PSA.

[Joe Hunter]

Definitely not a good look for PSA.

Just let me pop the side of the case a few times on the kitchen counter and I will have that Babe temporarily centered within its PSA coffin.

So much for "Buy the card, not the holder."

"Few of Babe Ruth’s rookie cards have such a complete story of their provenance"


Truly curious - does the provenance really matter as long as the card is real?

If it's meaningful it matters. There are more stories than one could imagine of common $100 items owned by somebody famous or were somewhere important that makes the items worth exorbitant amounts. For example, a wooden deck chair from the tiranic, its provenance turns it from a $100 chair into $100,000.

When the card can slide around in a shitty slab and possibly be damaged, you are still buying the card and not the holder. That 3 can be a 1 in minutes.
