Thank you for sharing that story.

Chris,

Probably because they had to pay twice for it, since the first one wasn't real, and they were trying to get the most ROI out of it without losing a bunch on that one card, just my opinion/thought.

Greg, you're probably right, but if I'm the customer (the consignor) I'm demanding a "nice" Ruth. I would assume they received a refund from the initial purchase of that "stamped signature." Then I would assume they move forward and purchase a "nice" Ruth for the already unhappy customer. But no, they replace it with a hideous Ruth.

Customer service at its best.

If I pulled a Legit Ruth Cut today it could be Crayon on Toilet Paper. I wouldn't complain. But that's just me.

I'm actually happy they didn't use a better document to shred for that card. They actually improved the look of both signatures IMO.

If I am not mistaken, hasn't JSA been the authenticator for all of UDA vintage items for the past few years ever since UDA had a problem with that quad signatures card? If so, I wonder if they authenticated the stamped Ruth that was replaced?
