Default Question about REA Ruth 5.5

https://bid.robertedwardauctions.com...e?itemid=79680

Is that black spot under the "U" on the card or the holder? Assuming it's on the card - how did it get a 5.5?

Howard, I do like the Goudey Ruth (Maybe not at 66K, Very nice card other than the black spot---I could live with it at maybe at 30K( guess I am thinking of last year prices) The 51 Mantle that somebody else mentioned, I would have a hard time with the right border.

Default Wow!!!

The Kashin at least is an "old grade", but - wow. The Mantle - holy crap!


An SGC 5.5 Ruth sold by PWCC on Ebay for 35K that imho blows away the REA PSA 5.5 that sold for 66K!!?? Insert shaking head gif.

Wow. Youve got to look closely at the cards and not just the number on the holder. I know most people have known this for years but its really getting to be a matter of big dollars at stake now.

How does something like that get past PSA?? Even if it was missed while in hand somehow, (mysteriously) wouldn't it also make you wonder when you put it in the slab and had some contrast with the outer edge of the slab?

That is just brutal.

Default Subbed by REA!

Description states it was subbed by REA!? The diamond cut notwithstanding - that top right corner looks wrong!

The card is not trimmed, not one bit. It’s Factory Diamond Cut Both Edges have the same cut just one side, left is wider then right border.

Yea, that’s just sad. The whole card is a mess. But people buy the flips, not the card. Never get Cheated

Eeeks!
Should be the new label designation for PSA's AI pre approval software and their commitment to honesty and integrity. (I spat up bile writing that last part).

If you are talking about the Mantle, I dont think the problem is with the diamond cut - at least to my eye, there appears to be an additional cut at an inward angle near the top of the righthand border and then a slight bat ear back out.

To me both sides left and right appear to have the same angled cut, with wider left and narrowed right...

He also stated it really well. I see the diamond cut. That's not what the problem is. It is that top right corner as Josh described.

I agree. If I'm buying a PSA 7 '51 Mantle, it's not this one.

I do not think that top right corner has been worked on, to me it’s natural.

The person who bought the card is happy with it. He read the description and paid a lot of money for it, let him enjoy the card.

He should enjoy it. There aren't that many PSA 7 Mantle rookies out there.
