From the description:

1929 Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig King magazine rodeo card. This card was originally part of of a four card panel issued in King Magazine around 1929. There were a total of 48 different cards in the set. This is the only baseball related card that was included. The back of the card mentions that two years ago Ruth hit 60 home runs and last year they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals.

Neat card. Is there a specific question Brian? The perforated lines are interesting and show it was made to be cut out.

Is it made of paper? Or cardboard?

I would think cardboard. I will give an update once it arrives.

Leon,

No questions. Just seeing what everyone thought.

Nice pick up. I had seen it too and was thinking about making an offer but didn't. I just didn't know anything about it. Definitely an interesting piece.

maybe you can read the rest of the backs for us, Brian. I'm sure they are all interesting.;)

Frank,

Whoa. The back reading was from the original owner. I am a one language guy.
