Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>Hey Darren,<br /><br />That attached thing-a-ma-jig on the bottom of the card really takes away from its presentation. Don't ya sometimes feel like cracking the card out and cutting that thing off <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Really nice pick up!

Posted By: <b>Mark Marvelli</b><p>Leon<br /><br />I just noticed, for the first time, that Nebinger is missing the ending quote marks from "Big Eater". What do you suppose is the story behind this?<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Where the heck did you find another one of those? I love that image too. Very awesome indeed. Sincerely, Paul

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>Leon, wasn't that just in REA or Mastro?

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>MVSNYC</b><p>very cool piece Leon...do we know why Ruth is wearing the black armband? who died that year?

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I never noticed the other quotations missing on the Nebinger Bigeater. It's missing on the one I have for sale too or I would have to be looking for Kevin S to see if he handled these before me <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>.<br /><br />The Pathe Frere's Ruth card was in the recent Mastro auction. I bought it as an upgrade as mine has the two side borders trimmed away. It is one of my fave Ruth cards/poses...<br /><br />The armband is probably to memorialize Ray Chapman's death but I am not positive.....<br /><br />edited to add...I love Mastro and REA auctions but this Ruth is one of those things that can get lost in a 1700+- lot auction....especially if it's not in with the cards, as it wasn't.....

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>on that Close Candy card!<br /><br />I don't collect those, but may I ask - is that the only card with that image, do you know?<br />if so, what might be the cheapest option if I wanted to obtain one?<br /><br /><br />I ask, because sometimes, the images are used in multiple issues, and my vintage knowledge is limited to tobacco cards, mostly...<br />thanks,<br />Jason

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I don't "think" that Crawford image is used on any other cards but not positive. A regular Crawford in gd-vg should be in the 500-800 range....imo

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>thanks for the info and promptness.<br />But.... ugh!<br /><br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br />

Posted By: <b>Darren</b><p>Leon,<br /><br />How many different Ruth's do you own now? Great pick-up!<br /><br />Brad,<br /><br />Holy Cow man! That's a toughie. Nice pick-up.

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Richard- thanks.....I figured there was another that is why I was a little "hesitant" in my response. A Crawford E271 would cost multiples of an E94 Crawford in gd+.....<br /><br />Darren- I guess I have 20-30 Ruth cards now....not too many mainstream ones...

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>It's funny that the above shown E94 Crawford (leon's) and E94 Devlin (mine) are the only known orange color variations for each of these players and both came from Lionel Carter's collection. Wonder if Lionel even noticed?

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Bob</b><p>LOL! Well they may be "minors" and you have to "pick them up only" and someone has professionally graded them according to the ad, but what the heck is this doing in the pre-war section on ebay????<br /><br /><a href="http://tinyurl.com/59wq4c" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/59wq4c</a>
