Not certain, but by the sepia photo and black print, it reminded me of a billboard I saw on the I95 while on the way back north from FL last week... "Fill your trunque with Pedro's junque!"

it's some kind of reprint ruth fantasy card or something. I used to own one...maybe a giveaway...promotional type from the 70's or 80's.

I'd guess it has his career stats on the back and some notation that's it's a repro!

Joe, that was funny. Perhaps Leon could be persuaded to offer 15K for it?

I wouldn't give you five dollars for it.

(Edited to add smiley face. Just one.)

I've seen these before. I seem to recall the cards depicting Yankees from various eras. It's clearly not vintage ...

TCMA is correct...............1979 TCMA 1927 New York Yankees....page 399 in the 2008 Standard Catalog.....had one of those sets since the early 80s

Rob, I'm deeply troubled by your inclusion of just one smiley face in your post. I've found that adding two smileys really does the job. Two mind you, no more, no less. I've now taken to employing smileys in all aspects of my life in order to defuse potentially tense situations. Why just the other day I cut off a driver on the Long Island Expressway and as he flipped me the bird and attempted to drive clear up the back of my car I pulled out two smileys -- and just like magic there were smiles sent right back at me. Close one. Yesterday I said an apparently very politically incorrect thing about Marion Jones on a radio show and as the producer of the show ran into the booth to chide me over the use of such bad words -- he was concerned my comment might trigger protests in front of the building -- I simply whipped out two smileys and just like that we were both singing Kumbaya.

Bottom line: no matter how idiotic or obnoxious one may be, two simple smileys will level out the playing field in no time.
