Babe Ruth's First Card In Pinstripes?
Have been debating this issue with a buddy... I was just wondered what is considered Babe Ruth's first card ever, in which he is pictured in Yankee pinstripes? Or would those earlier cards when the text labels him a Yankee be considered his first Yankee cards? Has the hobby at large anointed one card his "first Yankee card?" Or is it a choice among a few.
It seems on the one hand some say his first Yankee card is one in which he is labeled a Yankee by the text, but the picture is him in a Boston uniform. Others feel his first Yankee card is not a Yankee card unless it depicts him in the classic pinstripes. Just very curious as to how seasoned collectors come down on this interesting issue-- in addition to which would be considered his first pinstripe card.
