1933 goudey Ruth fake or not?

captainthreeputt

Hi All,

I am looking at a 1933 goudey Ruth #144 PSA 4 on ebay. If someone could provide a link. The seller has 0 feedback. I am skeptical based on the story he tells. He says he found some cards in Grandpas attic, and he was told to send it to California for grading. I think it is an older slab. Not real old, but it looks as if it were done before .5 point grading. This is curious.

I would love to hear your thoughts,

Brian

Without even looking at it, I know it's fake.

He makes it sounds like he got it graded himself after he found them in the attic. That slab is old and was not graded by him. I'd say stolen scan. And, then he has a Gehrig with a totally different type of scan technique, I'd really say stolen scan.

The scan of the back comes from this eBay Auction

I'd say stolen scans...Donato

Edited to add: The front scan has sharper corners and the back scan has rounder corners. Front and back not the same=stolen scans.

There are few social certainties, but here is one of them.

Thanks for all the input. What do these guys do, take your money and run, or do they send a fake card?

The words Grandpa and attic are always 2 gigantic red flags.

ex-husband and ex-boyfriend are two more huge flags. as well as the statement, "I don't know if this is real or not".

Don't forget my dad left me his collection behind.
