I asked the seller "What are the results of your submission to PSA?"

Waiting for a response.

So the whole story about players, when they first saw Ruth, saying, "There's Dunn's new Babe," is wrong. Apparently Ruth was called "Babe" at least since the age of 7.

Funny how he looks like Spanky from "Our Gang"

Looks like Porky from little rascals

"I sent the card in to psa to authenticate and they had never seen one before."

:rolleyes:

Given the tennis shoes, this must be the "Back to the Future" Ruth rookie card.

Thinking of sending in a grilled ham & cheese sandwich cut out in the likeness of Mike Trout.

Wonder if they've seen one of those before.

Mystery solved! Ruth/Spanky DID call his home run!

It got a PSA 1900, so that must something good

While Alfalfa made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

I call BS - there isn't a RC logo anywhere to be seen!

And someone has shilled it up to $41!

Regulation......
 

Guys and Gals,

Calm done........its Regulation Size.......says it right there on the back in Babe's handwriting!

Such a cool and rare piece of...................._ _ _ _!

Ha! Passes the time at least. Can you imagine being home during this mess and HAVING to do this? I feel bad for the guy.........hahhahhahahahahah

Peace, Mike

Sold for $147.50

I like the part where the seller states that he "sent the card to PSA to authenticate and they had never seen one before." It's like sending them a T213, the card is delayed as it goes to "Research"

Technically its a minor league card not his rookie

I give PSA credit for not grading it an 8.
