Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>Lot Number 52<br />Bidding Start 10/10/2005 - 10:00 AM<br />Bidding Ends In Bidding Closed<br />Number of Bids 26<br /><br />Closing Bid $2,186.00<br /><br />Lot Description<br /><br />Here's a pair of seldom-encountered Babe Ruth specialty collectibles. Both of these rare items were issued only as components of an extensive non-sports production, and they're far too rare to be found in the typical dealer's stock or card-show excursion. "The Babe" himself appears in each card's movie-scene depiction. The duo includes: Early 1930's R94-1 Movie Stars & Scenes "Babe Comes Home" - 2 different cards w/Clubhouse Scene (EX, tiny back-crease at corner) and Home Scene (EX obverse, rough tear at right edge on back). The cards measure about 3" x 2-5/16" with hand-torn ends; backs are blank as issued with penned "R94" notations. <br /><br />Amazing it still isn't in the Standard Catalog.

Posted By: <b>RobertS</b><p>So, how much without the "penned 'R84' notations"...?!<br /><br />These things used to go for a song back when:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/VintageBall/R94_Babe_Comes_Home_Card2.jpg"><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/VintageBall/R94_Babe_Comes_Home.jpg"><br /><br />Of course being uncataloged certainly helped keep the prices down on these in the past.<br /><br />By the way, these also came in different colors, as evidenced by the Mastro lot:<br /><br /><img src="http://images.mastronet.com/images/Auction32/photographs/42313.jpg"><br /><br />
