great card, and if that's the one that just ended recently, you got a stupid deal on that!!

it sold for almost half of what the regular version /95 used to go for

The most recent /95 sale - [phil:1915w4xj]270710545202[/phil:1915w4xj] - what was the high for these?

:shock:

great pickup! not sure what you've paid but holy wow...

i've never understood the "regular" vs "reverse negative"

if i do recall, the blue border is the reverse negative, right?

Not sure what the deal with the reverse negative is, other than that the blue border is /24 as opposed to /95.

Great pick up.

I've never gotten around to actually pick one of those up, but have been meaning to do so for a while.

Recently I've found myself focusing on the cards that I view as somewhat iconic, and realizing that if I'd not picked up other "lesser" cards I could easily have bought them earlier. In the case of this Ruth though, I may look to see what I can for it since it's a level of "high-end" that's a little higher than I usually work with and moving it could net a few nice, but lesser items, but I'm going to see. I wonder how many of these had stitching, I can't imagine too many.

Hello gentlemen,

The "reverse" name is a little deceiving, because it's not really reversed...

Regular

Reverse

Good to know, thanks!

I was bidding on that one as well though I did not win it. Obviously there's a very finite amount of Ruth material to use in cards, and over the last few years it seems like jersey cards (as opposed to pants or general "memorabilia" ) are becoming a thing of the past. I think there's good reason to try to snag these sooner rather than later. For me, the /95 version is probably more reasonable a card for me to hold on to long term.

I've never been able to snag one of these because I buy too much other stuff. The base version /95 is one of the few cards /50 and above I still need for my set. Btw, that is a very nice price for the reverse.
