It's not often that I see one of these,
 

but when I do I stop and admire it for close to an hour. Came across this on eBay this morning. Not mine. Not trying to sell. Not trying to out. (It's a BIN) Just wanted to say there is something about this card/premium that just knocks my socks off. Beautiful f'n item you don't see often.

wow.. great looking card - I never heard of that series!

wow that's amazing. I don't know if it's $7500 amazing but would love to have that on display.

Other than having his pants on backwards it's a pretty impressive image :)

it's the bobs big boy of ruth cards!

Leon had a really nice one, was an under-bidder. Great image.

You just ruined it for Steven:eek::)

You too:eek::)



:D;):D

....Love the early Ruths

Ha, never noticed that. I also remember Leon's, was it not a different version if I remember?

anyone know what(or who) the black armband is for?

Ray Chapman I believe.

This was actually not a series but just the one card of Ruth put out by Pathe Freres,a phonograph company. I believe it was in conjunction with release of a record on which Babe describes his hitting etc. In actuality, the recording is not of Ruth but an actor portraying him.

My Holy Grail. Shhhhhh (at least until I find one!).

What's up with his hair? Looks like he was having a bad day ....

Gary (Hi Gary) on our board is the one who is selling this, he has a ton of great Ruth's (this being one of them). Great guy too.

Man Bun RC

The Backstreet Boys called, they want their hair back.

Great card!!!

I was rooting for you with mine but someone else wanted it a bit more. You know the financing wasn't going to be an issue. These Pathe's come around approx. every 3-5 yrs.. There will be another. I do love the pose and always did. BTW, for the completists out here there are 2 different backs so you will need both of them. :)
