Anyone ever seen an Orange W511 Babe Ruth??
 

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p><img src="http://centuryoldcards.com/images/1926ruth.jpeg"><br />For those that don't know, the Babe Ruth card sometimes called "1924 W-UNC" in catalogs is really from a rare group of sets (mostly nonsports subject) known as W511 in the American Card Catalog. (The subject matter prove W511's are from 1926)<br /><br />My question, Has anyone ever owned or seen an Orange Tint W511 Babe Ruth?<br /><br />Orange is not listed in the 2006 SCD Catalog, but the W511 Orange cards of other subjects do exist but are very rare. I have a Maroon Ruth and have seen at least 2 other Maroon Ruths, along with many other B&W and Blue Tint W511 Ruths (#1,#52,#71,NO#).<br /><br />Does an Orange W511 Ruth exist????<br /><br /><img src="http://centuryoldcards.com/images/w511cook.jpg"> <img src="http://centuryoldcards.com/images/w511blue.jpg"> <img src="http://centuryoldcards.com/images/w511orange.jpg">

Posted By: <b>steve f</b><p>Thats' orange is stunning and your red one isn't so bad either... I thought it was just a baseball set, but it's similar to the 1928 W565's. Do you know if it came in a large sheet as well?<br /><br /> Now that our society has become more tolerant of obesity, I don't mind sayin' "Boy that Fatty Arbuckle sure is a looker"... Over time, seen a few whites with number var. and even fewer reds/maroon only and I'm always looking for these in a lower grade. #Found the #'s<br /><br />That orange is stunning and your red one isn't too bad either...

Posted By: <b>kyle</b><p>I used to own the W511 Ruth that is pictured on oldcardboard.com. Its really a tan/nuetral colored card with black ink. Maybe its a fourth variation? <br /><br />-Kyle-

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>Is a great web site, with lots of info on strip card sets. I noticed that there is a Barney Oldfield (auto racing) card listed. I wonder when a boxer will show up. I call it!
