Dave --

I am basing my "scarce" comment on the Murray Price Guide, which is rather like the Beckett of British cards. Commons from this set go for 10 Pounds, whereas commons from the Churchmans Sports and Games set that feature Babe Ruth go for 2.30 (these are from a 2001 guide). I didn't mean to imply that it was super rare, but you see a lot more Ruth cards than you ever see of this one. Your card has the more common back, which is in the book as a 4 Pound set for commons. The way their price guide works, it doesn't break out any expensive cards the way Beckett or Lemke guides do, so it won't list baseball issues seperately - that's why I'm using the commons price to gauge the scarcity. Anyway, it is a cool card!

Take Care, Geno
