is it possible for me to pick one up for around $500.00 to 600.00

Hey Fred,

In my research,I found that you can find a few Ruth cards from his playing days for that amount, especially if you are patient and don't care too much about condition. Some of the cards in this thread fall in to that category. Specifically:

1935 Goudey 4 in 1 (that's the card I posted at the top of this thread...it was less than $500)

1932 Sanella Ruth (sharp looking card. From Germany).

1929 Kashin Publications Ruth

1934 R309-1 Goudey Ruth Premium (those occasionally come up in fairly beat up condition in that price range...although they seem to be creeping up in price)

1932 Bulgaria Sport Ruth (European card)

There are likely a few others, but those are the ones I considered when I was looking for my "bargain" Ruth.

Kashin is definitely a good bargain Ruth and the image on it is great. I don't know why the card is still on the cheap side but it's a nice one for the money.

I agree that the Kashin seems to be a value. I wonder if it is partly related to it's availability? By no means do they seem common, but I know that set was released in four separate series of cards, but each series contained a Ruth. So I guess if we do the math, there should be four times as many Ruth cards from that set as any other card?

I picked up this oddball Ruth which is part of a Keystone viewer set. The set promotes improving your eyesight and has a viewer and card set. I'm not sure exactly when it was produced, but I got it cheap.
