Card ID, the Babe?
Just picked this card up, anybody have any info about it, the card measures 4" X 5.25"? The patent on the back of the card indicates a 1930's issue.

Don't know the issue but it looks like the Babe.

Hi Randall, your card belongs to a very scarce boardgame, Home Base Ball: The National Game, produced by a Richmond, Virginia outfit that identified itself variously as "Home Baseball Corporation" and "The Home Base Ball Company." The game had long been identified as a 1922 product, but the 1936 patent (first we've had a look at that detail -- thanks) strongly suggests it is indeed actually from the mid-late-1930s.
Although the card image sure does look like the Bambino, the game's box lid carries the names of several luminaries, none of them the Babe: "Endorsed by / John McGraw / Buck Herzog / Jack Onslow / Eddie Dyer / and others," it says.

In turn based on, if we're not delusional, a well-known action photo of the Babe, although we can't place the actual source. Photograph or Bambino experts, any help on that?

This would be the photo we were thinking of:
Anyone on board have the date that was taken, or know the identity of the photographer, or recognize the venue?
