Posted By: <b>Pete Z.</b><p>I won a raw one on ebay in EX+ from a guy in Germany for $70 that took a month to deliver that luckily survived the journey unscathed loose and unprotected in a plain white envelope. I'd say yours should go for $200 give or take $50.

Posted By: <b>Kyle</b><p>Hans is a really great guy... though I'm not surprised by the shipping issues. He's had some sweet cards lately, including a Josetti Ruth PSA 7 and Abdulla Ruth PSA 7 (highest graded) which he sold for $2700..... and he also had a Muratti Poynton/Ruth PSA 8 and PSA 9 that he got $1500.<br /><br />Some cool stuff in Germany, I wonder where he find all of it.<br />-Kyle-

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Now books for $190 NRMT on page 70 in the 2006 SCD. About 10-15 years ago (pre eBay) that card along with the Sanella cards would easily bring $1,000-$2,000 and considered rare. The Internet and eBay has brought hundreds maybe thousands of the German issues out of attics in Germany.<br /><br />In the November 18, 1994 issue of SCD (page 50) there was a story about the German Babe Ruth card issues. Here are the values quoted at the time in this 12 year old article (pre eBay).<br /><br />Sanella type 1.............$1,400 NRMT<br />Sanella type 2.............$2,000 NRMT<br />Astra.........................$2,250 NRMT<br />Bulgaria Sports#256.....$1,800 NRMT<br />Josetti Filmbilder#151...$2,750 NRMT<br /><br />Frank

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>A lot of the collectable European cards and postcards are sold by Eurpean, including places like Bulgaria and Czech Republic. I know of an American who bought one of those German c. 1930 Babe Ruth/Harold Lloyd postcards when he was on a business trip in Estonia. He was worried if it might be a fake, but I said it was unlikely that Estonians would be forging Babe Ruth baseball cards to sell in Estonia.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>In case people didnt know, about the German card sometimes sold as Ruth/Poynton. The card does not picture Babe Ruth, its just a guy that looks sort of like him.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Babe-Ruth-1-Rare-Original-German-Tobacco-Card_W0QQitemZ8776753901" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/Babe-Ruth-1-Rare-Original-German-Tobacco-Card_W0QQitemZ8776753901</a>
