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:

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.

I have 6 Babes I like them all!

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.

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…

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.

And had posted these on the memorabilia side. From the last Philly show…

Here is a new but semi unique Ruth to my Collection.
A 1920 catalog that was printed just before he was traded to the Yankees so he is still in his Boston uniform

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

wow

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

Brian

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...

You know I love this beauty Dave! Again huge congrats.

Too tough to chooseAttachment 570187

Please keep the Ruth additions coming. And share your Ruth pc.

Another Ruth m114, 1930 spring training snapshot, a notebook cover

Great adds Doug.

wow Great M114

Cool early image on a scorecard…

Attachment 571691

Doug, I'm lovin' the notebook cover!

Didn't I get that from you?

That's probably why I liked it so much, says the guy with a pathetic memory!

I sold off my cards a few years ago.

So, there are all I have left:

Attachment 571937

Damn, those are some pretty spectacular things to have left.


Apologies for the partial repost, but when I initially posted to this thread, I only showed one of the two different printings of Babe's Red Sox batting m114.

I’d love to own one of these. Please pm me to discuss if possible. Thank you.

Sorry Josh, you have to get in line for that discussion. I have 1,238 different m114 supplements (and another 93 m113s) with no plans to go backwards in those counts any time soon.

Not sure if I posted this one before, it's one of the first 11 m114s that were first advertised in the December 1916 issue of Baseball Magazine...

Doug - Awesome M114 Supplements of Ruth. What year(s) is the batting version from?

I'm not sure, but I think it might have been released in December 1919. I don't have copies of the ads from Nov 1919 thru June 1920, so can't be sure.

If anybody has any of those issues of Baseball Magazine, I will pay you for scans of the ads.

Doug

Beautiful pieces Doug--thanks for posting them!

Doug - can you post an image of what one of the ads looks like that helps you day them, such as your 1916 pitching pose of Ruth?
