Cards are nice but most are probably overpriced during the current vintage card boom.

You might want to keep your eyes open for memorabilia as well. I think the "Babe Ruth Underwear" box is a really neat item and can be found in wonderful condition in your price range and it is a super display item. Other neat items are notebook covers, postcards and magazine covers with many of these being produced during his playing days

Sometimes it pays to look outside the box to get the most bang for your buck.

But if your heart is set on a card, I'd probably go with a 33 Goudey even if it has to be one in low grade condition. Just keep an eye out for one downgraded due to a crappy back. Who looks at the back any way? Be patient and only get one graded by SGC, PSA or GAI.

Good Luck
