Babe Ruth Advice Needed with Show and Tell
 

Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>Hello everyone,<br /><br />For the past year I've been trying to find a non-Goudey Ruth in the $1500 range and that isn't oversized (i.e premium). I haven't found one that is too interesting yet and really can't stomach strip cards (aside from W517) Can y'all post your favorite non-mainstream Ruth and perhaps one that can be attained in the $1500-2000 range? Foreign issues, oddities, all are welcomed. Please help!<br /><br />James

Posted By: <b>Dave</b><p>This is my favorite Ruth that isn't a Goudey or one of the m101 rookie issues. It gives you everything you'd want out of the Babe... a nice mugshot... a nice slender head to toe shot (he was still pretty young)... and him on the field.<br /><br />I probably overpaid for it, but the front has the look of a 4-5 (gunk on the back keeps it at a 2.) I got it in the range you're looking at.... and it sure beats the hell out of the cartoon strip cards. <br /><br /><img src="http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o318/davegeorge76/Ruthe121-1.jpg"><br /><br />Edited for spelling.

Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>Wow, I've been in the hobby awhile and that E121 Ruth looks great. Have never seen that one before. Exhibits are an intriguing possibility. Does anyone have any favorite Exhibit poses?<br /><br />James

Posted By: <b>quan</b><p>i've always preferred his 1920's caramel cards over the goudeys...scarcer and earlier cards. some people might be turned off by the b/w cards. their prices have gone up considerably though.<br /><br /><img src="http://home.earthlink.net/~quannimir/images/e121ruth.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Kyle</b><p>I like those Sanellas, and you can get a PSA 8 or so for only $300ish... which is pretty cheap to me for a near 75 year old Ruth. I've always wondered how those Youth Companion stamps were distributed, they sure are interesting.<br /><br />-Kyle-

Posted By: <b>James Feagin</b><p>Do any of the current grading companies grade Fro-Joy Ruth's? Additionally, what year is that pretty Ruth on the right-side of Boxingcardman's scan? Are there color variations associated with it.<br /><br />James

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>BVG graded Fro Joy's the last time I checked a few months ago. Also, if your asking about the Ruth holding the bat, that's a 1926-29 Exhibits. I do believe there is a color variation.
