fkwA true Schapira Bros. "Big Show Candy" card is different. They are from 1926-28.
These are 1921 Schapira Bros. Candy Babe Ruth cards.
The Ruth Portrait card is very common for the issue. because the kids saved them for the ball. I have seen at least 3 groups of 25-40 cards discovered in last 15 years. These are from kids that never reached the 250 needed for the Ruth signed ball. I have owned a couple of the boxes and the Ruth Portrait is on every single box (like the Orange Border Team cards), so they are 5 times more common that the other Schapira Ruth cards. Only a few years ago these portrait cards sold for $50 ea. because of the few hoards that hit the market.
