Anyone know what this is?
 

Posted By: <b>Jerry</b><p>I found this in a house that I demolished recently and it was underneath the carpet on the second floor in a closet. Can anyone tell me what it is and how much it is worth?? And why their is a red stripe at the bottom of it? The last card is Babe Ruth, but I thought Babe Ruth was a batter? Why is he pitching? I took a couple pics of it so you guys can see. The only thing that I can tell is that maybe some water got to the top of the card in the right corner where there is a little black stain.(The closet was near the bathroom) I dont know much about this stuff, but I do collect nellie fox items. Take a look and I need some opinions. Thanks guys<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1139778839.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1139778856.JPG"> <img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1139778879.JPG">

This is certainly authentic because the reprints were made in the year 1998 and they have the W-517 print on the lower left hand corner and the back of the strip is pure white. The color of the stripe on the back I think entitled the purchaser to another piece of candy, but I can honestly say I havent seen a ruth card with a stripe on the back, and I deal with alot of these.(let alone a ruth uncut strip) Looking to sell?
