I am at an antique mall and this guy has a notebook with a bunch of cut images of older players along with a 1935 Yankees team photo and a 1935 Red Sox Team photo. He also has a stack of premiums that I cannot identify and therefore don't know the value. The Ruth is from the same set as the rest. Can anyone identify and give me a sense of value? Thanks!

I think that Ruth is a 1934 Butterfinger premium. Condition is everything on these; they're not that hard to find.

One of these sold on ebay in the beginning of Feb for ~$150, but probably in better condition. I would guess the value of the one in your picture is probably around ~$100 or so. Here's the link to the one that sold on ebay: Linky (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170598303013)

I paid ~$200 for mine on ebay in Dec, and it ended up grading BVG 5 (EX). Linky (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=320628024649)
