Ruth issue to buy with a budget of $1500 (seeking experienced advice)

[Jcosta19]

1933 Sport Kings Babe Ruth

Should be able to find a presentable albeit low grade example for $1500.

I agree with Steve. No foreign cards and also no cartoonish strip cards. Even though I don’t collect postcards or photographs, I think if you like them they are a good choice. Otherwise, I would suggest buying nothing and saving a little more until you say have $5,000 to spend, and then your possibilities expand considerably. Don’t buy something just for the sake of spending the money, buy something that you can enjoy and be proud of.

I’m a huge fan of the 1935 Goudey 4 in 1.

Authentic Goudey gum card of the babe during his playing days (final year) and $1500 should be able to get you a nice looking 4 or 5 grade.

W517 either pose is nice and unless going for a very high grade you should have money left over.

Don't let them talk you out of a foreign Ruth:

Considering we just sold a presentable one at auction for about $450 and it's a great image I think this isn't a bad idea. You could get a rather nice one for over $1k

Yes the 4 in 1
Its still a CARD! I echo the sentiment on this card, or well presenting goudey. Avoid postcards, photos, foreign etc. They were long frowned upon until the recent upsurge, overbought in my opinion. Though they do "look nice" oversized and not coming out of a pack just kill it in my eyes

The suggestion of a Kashin is good one. I would add the Butterfinger premium to the list.
