Babe Ruth new additions
 

A couple of recent Ruth pickups.

It’s hard not to love a Babe Ruth/George Burke combination in a photo and this one is definitely one of my favorites.

I also picked up this early Ruth. Its a Type 2 from the Brown Brothers developed in the 1950’s. The original image is from 1916 Ruth’s second year with the Red Sox. I just really liked the image and Ruth clearly in his Red Sox uniform was very cool to me. I would never be able to afford this photo in a Type 1 so a Type 2 will have to due for me in this photo.

If you’re a fan of George Burke and don’t mind type 2 photos then I would look at Jim Rowe RPPC of players who were active in the 1930s-40s. Those Postcards are dirt cheap and were printed from the original negatives of Burke and Brace. I bought a RPPC of Jimmie Foxx. The image was used for his 1940-41 Play Ball.

Thanks Eddie. I love George Burke’s work. I will definitely take a look at those RPPC’s. Thanks for the heads up on those!

Nice pickups Congrats
