do u think they'd grade my singlet??????

Outstanding card!

This is my favorite. I have the bat grip card also, but not my favorite.

I don't see why not; they've "A"d other cards from the issue. Call and ask.

a few stereoview ruths...i've seen numerous others...some really unique. show em if u got em!!!!

#53 for me

Always kinda of liked the low pop stuff

Here are my Ruth’s.

I’m on team 144 for sure.

And a 1/1 game used bat barrel. It’s pretty tough to find the outer pieces of bat when getting game used bat pieces.

Every time I see those cards I feel horrible that an historic bat was cut up to make a bucks for a card company.

Did they really create a Babe Ruth bat card and use a reverse image photograph???????????? Of the most famous left handed baseball player in history???????? Come on, Leaf!!!!! Come on!!!!!

(And yes, I realize it's possible he was just holding the bat righty, but I don't believe for moment that's the case!!)

Some Great Cards.

and love the Diversity of Ruth Cards.

Never realized so many types and sizes


Keep Them coming

LEON are you going to show us your 1914 Ruth?

Couple Ruth items from his movie career. 1`st a still from the movie "Headin Home and the 2`nd promotional shot from "Babe Comes Home".

I agree to an extent, but I'm also grateful as I would never be able to own a Ruth bat and this is the next best thing. I'm a sucker for refractors too so I do love it.

Careful Rad_Hazard...modern cards with bat and jersey cuts in them aren't always viewed too positively around here.

From the sketchy provenance to the destruction of sacred memorabilia, just owning one might get you banned from Net54. :)

But if they kick you out, they'll have to send me with you...I personally think they're cool. Getting to own a piece of bat used by Babe Ruth for the fraction of the cost of a playing days card? Yes please! Here's the one I picked up a few years ago....I love it (not as much as I love my vintage w517 and 1935 Goudey cards posted earlier in this thread....but I think it's pretty awesome).

Yikes! I didn't even think about negative reactions to memorabilia cards. Good to know.

That is a beautiful Ruth bat card! Just as you said, owning a piece of history for a fraction of the cost is very appealing.

Not cards
 

but here are mine:

That’s a beauty Neal I love it!

Very cool, Bob.

I like this pose a lot and it's from a less pricey set. It only looks grainy in the pic. It is very real.

Babe Ruth
 

Wish it was original but still one of my favorite display items.

Babe Ruth
 

I have the original photograph by George Lyons of Babe Ruth & Ted Williams from 1948 with the photographer copyright stamp. There was a premium of this photograph that was put out on the market.

Here are my favorite Ruth items that I’ll pass on to my kids one day. Would love to add some cards but even in low grade they’ve become cost prohibitive.

1919 Babe
 

One that I like!

Ruth/Gehrig
 

2 icons on one card, truly one of my favorites!

At least you have his 1933 Goudey, and not a bad looker for a damaged card.

Such a great thread!

I'm happy to contribute this example, won in LOTG.

Picked up a big guy (literally). Trying to think what to keep it in. I like one-touches for my cards so was thinking maybe a comic book sized magnetic holder would be worth trying. Would be a bit of extra space, but just might work for displaying.

I have a large number of large items ; Beckett in Texas naturally does things in a large way.:

..http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/204295...JACKIE_NEW.JPG
....


.. If that R309 still has the easel on the back then even with the crease and touches it's still a large number and Beckett is a good protection provider. Kinda like that vault option everybody and his brother is now offering, only closer .

[QUOTE=MikeGarcia;2258304]

My friend is a huge Musial collector and uses the 8x10 photo big boy one touches. They look great!
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e3ff33f1fc.jpg

[QUOTE=Lucas00;2258317]Yeah, that’s a good visual. I think the comic book one-touches are pretty similar in size but maybe have a little more depth to fit the thickness of the comic?

I’ll have to compare them in person, but that Ruth premium is quite thick cardstock and the easel on back adds even more thickness to it. Since the 8x10 is described to be for photos, wonder if it would smush a thicker item like this…or maybe not even close correctly.

I really like this example. I’d love to own one.

Bump for more Babe cards to show and tell!

A snapshot I own. Babe in 1942 at the premier of "Pride of the yankees" very small shot about 2x2 inches. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7c9c18ec4c.jpg

Ruth
 

Excellent pose and card of the Babe! Send it to Becket. What they can't tell the difference between a real card and a fake one? Just about every card out there of value has been faked or reprinted. Not to mention all the Professionally restored cards out there, and who knows how many in holders?

An interesting sidebar to this photo: The photographer taking Babe's picture kindly asked him to remove the chewing gum he was masticating for the shot. Babe obliged and stuck it on the top of his cap, presumably for future use.

My favorite only because I can't find anything else about this book other than from the auction I got it at. Anyone can have a 33 goudey, but not everyone can have an obscure book like this!

My First Ruth - Just Received Today
 

It was a great mail day today. Given my budget, its the best 33 Goudey I'll likely ever have the opportunity to own. I came across this blog post about the card's history which I hope is true and not just marketing hype: https://blog.justcollect.com/the-onc...and-lou-gehrig

I think it is a great looking card and the color really pops and the missing pieces does not impact Ruth and the main parts

Congrats on the pick up

1922 Caramel Ruth Montage

Congrats! That's a card I would be willing to take a swing on, also. The tear takes nothing away from the picture, name, or brand.

My one and only from his playing days, and a cornerstone of my collection:

Attachment 566858

This is a wonderful thread! I appreciate everyone sharing. Great cards each of you!

I no longer own this top left corner of a W516-1 Ruth card, but at least it made its way back to the collector with the rest of the card.

1929 Rogers Peet Catalogue
 

From the issuers of the 1930 Rogers Peet cards and albums, a 1929 advertising catalogue with a unique image of Ruth on the cover.

I don't know if anyone had posted one of these but these Demaree die cuts have really grown on me.

A couple I picked up long ago ...

That 25 Champions Exhibit has got to be one of the best Ruth poses. Awesome.

This was one of my bucket list cards and lucky to get it to add to my Run of Ruth cards

The card that never was.

Babe
 

I have 6 Babes I like them all!

Ruth
 

I would love to add an exhibit one day and the other three Goudey's. Not sure how realistic that actaully will ever be though.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8ee90835_c.jpg

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3aef06af_c.jpg

These are two great examples.

Not even sure what this is or the value. But this would be my favorite.

You guys have such amazing Ruth cards! I actually have a couple worthless favorites, and even though there are really nice ones here and out there, nothing I really "have to have" .

When I was 10, I opened some 1972 Topps and got an Indians team card. One of my friends would sometimes offer me cards out of his brother's cigar box as trade bait. He was a Yankees collector and I'm sure I was offered my share of Mantles. I had no idea who Mantle was. I got a Babe Ruth card for my Indians card. Years later I replaced the precious card with one in about the same shape.Attachment 567138

Years later I stumbled onto 1962 Venezuelan Ruths. They're not worth much and always in rough shape, but I like this one. By the SGC Report, there's a total of 10 graded. One 3 and One 4 and none better. There's a total of 28 graded at PSA, four 3s and 5 better, nothing better than the one 5.

I know there's no demand so no value, but I still like the pose and the story on back.

a few from my stable

Fantastic Pete especially love that Eastern Exhibit

What an awesome addition. I know you’ve wanted one quite sometime. Congratulations!

Cuban tobacco premium, late 20s. Part of a series of athletes and celebs. Value could only be determined by auction.

Recently picked up this interesting piece. Newspaper cutout puzzle form circa 1933…

https://photos.imageevent.com/docpat...RuthPuzzle.jpg

Seller thought it was from the 1940s, but the other puzzle he had was of Hitler and referenced him as chancellor (became chancellor of Germany in 1933 and then took the title of Fuhrer in 1934), so I’m guessing ca. 1933.

And here’s the solution in the paper the next day. Lucky that he had both items. Never seen one before.

Here is a new but semi unique Ruth to my Collection.

Never seen that puzzle before. Here are a pair of 1961 newspaper features:

Here is my favorite (and only) non-card Babe Ruth item...a newspaper caricature illustration from 1930 or so.

Thanks I like the catalog, the pose, and the timing of it

This is a bit off the beaten path, but what the heck. The origin of the pic on his 1973 All-Time RBI Leader card...
