The Ruth/Matthias/Merkle RPPC dates to 1925-26(years Merkle was Yankee) and is one of the new favorites of my collection. Likely 1925 when he appeared in 7 Yankees games vs. only 1 game in 1926.

Also very excited to add a new Headin Home Ruth to the collection, despite how hammered this one is! "Bijou theatre Dec 8" is written in pen on the back. (Under the pencil scribbles)

That Ruth RPPC has got to be one of THEEEEE coolest postcards I've ever seen!!!!

Thanks! I love it (you have some amazing ones too!) I've never seen any other sort of card type item with Brother Matthias. Also has wife Helen in it too with some other unknowns and Xavarians.
