Topps Line Art and Painted Babe Ruth's
Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>I am sorry I do not have any scans I can post at present but wanted to get a discussion going on these. Over the years, Topps has produced a long list of Babe Ruth cards consisting of drawings or paintings. My count is as follows:<br /><br />1952-53 Look 'n See #15 (Painting)<br />1953-54 Scoop #41 (Painting)Unsure if fronts come both coated and uncoated<br />1963 Valentine Foldees Wheel Design #6 Portrait(Drawing)<br />1963 Valentine Foldees #34 Wheel Design Batting (Drawing)<br />1966 Comic Book Foldees #12 (Small Version)Babe Ruth the Slugger(Drawing)<br />1966 Comic Book Foldees #12 (Large Version)Babe Ruth the Slugger(Drawing)<br />1967 Who Am I? #12 With Disguise (Painting taken from Look 'n See and cleaned up a bit)<br />1967 Who Am I? #12 No Disguise (Issued as part of a 3rd party game)<br />1969 Pak o' Fun Foldees (Not sure which #, should be the same as the Comic Book Foldees pose)<br />1970 Valentine Foldees Banana Design #6 Portrait(Drawing)<br />1970 Valentine Foldees Banana Design #34 Batting (Drawing)<br />1971 21 Tattoos (Inferred from Canadian issue) (Drawing)<br /><br />If anyone has corrections or additions, please feel free to post. Would love to see some scans too.

Topps Line Art and Painted Babe Ruth's
Posted By: <b>Dave Hornish</b><p>The Non Sport guys were talking up the Magic Photos Ruth, so I thought I should post the list of his Topps appearances with photos in NS sets (thru 1980):<br /><br />'49 Magic Photos<br />'55/56 Hocus Focus (Small-Should have at least 1 perf. edge)<br />'63 Famous American Stamps<br />'64/65 Push-Pull<br /><br />Considering every Topps card of him was issued after he dies, including those in regular series of baseball cards, the iconic status of the Bambino is indeed impressive!
