I've had these 4 cards for sometime now and I do not know much about them
any info is much appreciated. Cards measure 2 1/8 wide by 2 3/4 tall, from what I have read this is the 3rd size that was made.

I believe there is a thread somewhere here that determined the issue is a modern fraud.

I'm curious on what year they were made and if anything shows under a black light

There were 2 legitimate sizes these came in. The size shown are the fake/reprints, which these are.

Wonder if anybody likes to collect reprints/fakes of Babe Ruth, I'm thinking these cards had to been made over 40 years ago when somebody could pull off selling these as real, with todays social media the word gets around so quickly and people can view the pictures without leaving their chair.

I propably willl take these photo's to the Philly show and show them to SGC, I would like to find a story on how they became this way

Thanks
Leon

People not in the hobby wouldn't know they are not real. They could be 80s reprints or later, hard to tell. I have owned a few fakes by accident. I did get my money back though...

Thought you might want to see the original premium. I bought it a couple of years ago with a 1933 all star program as well as two tickets trimmed for a scrapbook.. It makes sense that they would have put it out in corresponding with the all star game. Can anyone tell me how many of these are known to be graded by scp.
