Leon, do you have the higher grade stock #6 card? It looks to me that SGC only grades the higher grade stock cards...but they haven't graded a #6 in the set.

edited to add: I'm wondering if the #6 cards were shortprinted, as the back of the higher grade stock cards state "when you have the complete set of 6 Pictures, send them to the Geo. H. Ruth Candy Co., Cleveland, Ohio, and you will receive a Baseball with Babe Ruth's genuine signature on it. FREE OF CHARGE.".

So it makes sense the #6 card would be very difficult to find since:
1. one of the cards were short-printed to make it difficult to complete the set.
2. when someone did get a #6 card, it meant a complete set (as the other 5 were probably much easier to get), and thus there's no reason not to send the set in for a signed auto'd Ruth ball.
