Default Can anyone tell me what this BABE RUTH card is from??

I feel like this was part of a larger card. Like a Topps Stand up or something? Im finding nothing though. Does anyone know where this came off of?

Standard sized toploader for scale? Maybe cut from a movie advertising card?

My guess is it was cut out by someone to give to their kid, and they didn't want the cigarette connection to influence the kid. The same thing can be seen with N172s and other cards where the manufacturer information has been removed.

It's a cool piece and I doubt it's worthless. For someone looking for the sign, it's a cheaper alternative

I have no earthly idea...I'm gonna put it on Ebay for .99 cents and let the market determine the value....I found it in an old shoebox I was cleaning out. Probably came in a lot I bought around 15 years ago from Hunt Auctions.

I could be wrong, but I don't think this was originally cut from an Old Gold display. The originals are large oversized tri-folds, with this cut appearing much smaller. I'm not sure if smaller examples of the display were produced, but considering this piece is only about 1/3 larger than a card.... it seems way too small.

I'm not sure either. I see the fold at the leg, which is a good sign for it being the right piece, but I don't see the fold at the waist, which is indicative of it being correct.

Brent has a good point. And we're comparing the colour area left around the cut-out -- the salmon colour of the Old Gold lettering in the sign
appears as one would expect just above the bat handle in the cut-out, and the space between Babe's wrists is black in both sign and cut-out.
But the colour beyond the D in "Old" is black in the sign, but appears to be that pale teal (again, the line just above the middle of the bat)
in the cut-out.

If you start at .99 and don't declare exactly what it is you should do fine. I don't think I would offer a guarantee if selling but would be very transparent in not knowing what it is, exactly.
