Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>It would be very cool. Although I have always envisioned it as a portrait card.

Posted By: <b>Griffin's</b><p>That is Keith Conforti's design. Nice of this guy to rip it off and offer it for sale.

Posted By: <b>Keith</b><p>Yup... it's stolen. The card doesn't exist. It's one of a number of illustrations I did for TS O'Connell for SCD last year. I know it's also been posted on another website (with my permission) so that's where this scumbucket probably lifted it.<br /><br />I want to thank Anthony (griffins) for so quickly bringing this to my attention. I've already contacted the seller. Hopefully, it will be gone soon.

Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>I've alway envisioned that if there were a CJ card of Ruth it would be similar to the pose of Speaker or maybe even McGraw for a head on shot.

Posted By: <b>Anonymous</b><p>I"m pretty sure Babe Ruth was still in school in 1912. If it said "Babe" it certainly wasn't from before 1914, as that is when he signed with the Orioles and was nicknamed Babe.
