Rarity of Shonen/Youth's Companion Ruth cards
 
Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>I have both of these somewhat obscure...less expensive ruth cards. I seem to see the shonen postcards pretty routinely on ebay...but rarely see the youth's companion...besides R3's. How scarce are these "stamps" depicting ruth in a sox uni pitching? And I realize there is no proof this is Ruth...but the likeness is uncanny!!!<br /><br />pete in mn<br /><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i176/ullmandds/youthscompanion.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i176/ullmandds/scan0005.jpg">

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>For what it's worth I think the stamp depicts Ruth also. Very close image likeness. I would put the stamp in the "scarce" category......best regards

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>I vote that it's Ruth. The stamp is rare, but baseball stamps are usually rarer than comparable baseball cards.
