You guys have such amazing Ruth cards! I actually have a couple worthless favorites, and even though there are really nice ones here and out there, nothing I really "have to have" .

When I was 10, I opened some 1972 Topps and got an Indians team card. One of my friends would sometimes offer me cards out of his brother's cigar box as trade bait. He was a Yankees collector and I'm sure I was offered my share of Mantles. I had no idea who Mantle was. I got a Babe Ruth card for my Indians card. Years later I replaced the precious card with one in about the same shape.img177.jpg

Years later I stumbled onto 1962 Venezuelan Ruths. They're not worth much and always in rough shape, but I like this one. By the SGC Report, there's a total of 10 graded. One 3 and One 4 and none better. There's a total of 28 graded at PSA, four 3s and 5 better, nothing better than the one 5.

I know there's no demand so no value, but I still like the pose and the story on back.
