Default pardon the card

There are very few times that this particular card is so relevent so pardon the interruption with a "card". This Sports Co. of America Ruth is fairly common by normal standards, a bit scarce but still can be found. The reason this is probably 100x more rare is that it has a copyright of 1927 instead of the normal (for this series) 1926 copyright date. You can see it on the lower left of the back. I can only think of one series (E126), besides maybe a strip card, that was produced with Ruth in 1927. So here is his 1927 (only 2-3 known) Sports Co of America card...
