Hi Brent, I agree with many above. I think if you are going for facial recognition along with likeness a premium is a great way to go. The foreign issues are great and no doubt show a slugging ruth, but their greatest setback (to me, and presumably others) is the generic blank/untextured face. And is the reason I don't love them. If I was going for an "affordable" Ruth it would be either his 1934 Goudey Premium, (#1 by far love this one) his 1934 Quaker oats, or his 1934 Butterfinger. They would all be a bit more $ than the sanella or churchman. Probably $750-$1300 for a nice presenting 1 of each depending which (a nice Quaker oats psa 1 sold for under $800 recently!). But to me they are much nicer because babes face has definition.
No offense to packs or any '35 goudey lovers, it's a great colorful set. But It is the ugliest card ever made during Babes playing years hands down. And is only a quarter of the card on top of that. Don't kill me for saying that, somebody had to!
