Actually I'm surprised that you don't have any Ruth items in your collection. I thought it was a rule that anybody who collects vintage Baseball memorabilia must have at least one vintage piece of Babe Ruth memorabilia!  Well, if it's not a rule it sure as hell should be! 
This one is for you Scott. It's a perfect companion piece photo to your post!
Vintage Original TYPE 1 Photo of the Historic Hall of Fame Opening Day Parade in Cooperstown, New York, June 1939. That's the Babe and Ty Cobb leading the parade to the front doors of the Cooperstown Museum.
Actually I don't even remember if I posted this image before...

Jimmy,
That's an awesome photo of the Cooperstown parade. Thanks for posting it!
Currently the only Ruth item that I have is the ticket stub that I posted last month to his last pitching appearance/win in 1933.
In the past I have owned some cool Ruth items. The best one was a vintage fountain pen signed Ruth ball signed on the SS around 1933. The signature was about a 9 and the ball itself was an 8. I bought/traded for it in 1994 and had the seller by it back from me three years later for $1000 more than I paid for it. Believe it or not, I traded three Cal Ripken Topps Traded rookies and $700 for the ball. What a steal! I really wish I still owned it, but at the time $2700 cash seemed like a good deal. Yikes!!
Probably the deal that I regret most....
