Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>Does anyone know of any orginal items picturing Babe Ruth (team or individual) that were produced during 1914 or earlier other than the Baltimore News & Team "Card" from the same issue?<br><br>How about Cy Young original items (individual or team) produced during 1893 or earlier besides the Just So Tobacco? I believe a unique individual cabinet card exists from the early 1890's and has been encapsulated by SGC.<br><br>Any help is greatly appreciated.
