being a babe ruth collector, i have always been intrigued with this issue.
agreed that they are generally considered a genuine "pre-war card," tho, i personally, am extremely pessimistic about them being either!

psa has graded an amazing 354 examples (which is 71 more than the 1933 goudey sport kings ruth they have graded), and an astounding 77.4% have been deemed psa 5 or HIGHER!
issued on a foreign paper stock in 1932, am i really expected to believe that SO MANY examples survived in SUCH EXEMPLORY condition thru the ravages of depression and war, then miraculously surface 65-70 years later?

tho they may be quite aesthetically pleasing (despite the fashion faux paus), i have never owned one & probably never will.
