I also like the Ruth Candy ones mainly for the same reason as "his candy helped him." I'm looking to get of the batting poses.

How much do these typically go for and more important are they even available at times? I know the Fro Joys and the Ruth Candy's are a tricky bunch and repo's are rampant. I tried looking them up on Card Target but didn't get any search results.

Thanks for any help, you are all a truely amazing bunch.
Be very, very careful of buying the Fro Joys or Babe Ruth Candy cards on ebay. I strongly recommend buying a graded one or one from a very well known and respected source, with a return policy. That being said, if you are confident and know the cards, you can get good deals because so many people do shy away from them..

And to answer Peter's questions... the one I got, and another from the same seller, are as real as can be. As for the postcard you posted I don't know but I don't care for the toning on it, it looks sort of like enhanced aging...but again, I really don't know.
