Hey everyone,
I can't find any information about this Babe Ruth card. Does anyone know the year and make of this card? The back is blank. Thank you!

Appears to be a more modern something not sure I would call it a card?

Cut from some kind of packaging/advertising piece maybe. I am sure I have seen it someplace.

This is a trimmed and glued to cardboard 1991 Sports Card News card. Doctored to look vintage.

What website is that? Besides the ridiculous estimate for a bogus card, they really butchered the spelling of "jewelry."

You gotta like the blurry Babe getting up from a nap photo that is also offered.

The typeface used on "BABE RUTH" was available from the late 1950's - on. Good think fakers rarely know their typography history!
