Wanted: Poor condition Babe Ruth (W514 or W516 preferred)

[frankh8147]

I'll also be willing to do a part cash, part trade for a nice Ruth, please see my post below for the list.
Basically, I have $350 burning a hole in my pocket and am looking for rough condition Babe Ruth cards. I listed the W514 and the W516 because that's what i'm really after but i'll take a look at any lower grade Ruth card you have for that price and under, as long as it's not one of the Ruth cards I already have which are the 1933 Goudey#53, 1922 Estern Exhibit, Kashin, Sanella, Churchman, Shonen Postcard, W517, and the 1934 Goudey Premium. If it's not one of these, I would love to see it! I'm brand new to this forum but my ebay member ID is frankh8147. Thanks and have a great day! -Frank

I can go another route too. I was looking to buy a Ruth for $350 and under but that seems tough, so what I can also offer is a part cash, part trade option for a good one. Here are some vintage cards I could throw in, if someone wanted to make a deal. Also, as I discussed with other members, I do not have the backbone to purchase any ungraded George Candy or Fro Joy cards. Thanks again!

1956 Mickey Mantle GAI graded 1.5 (nice for it's grade)
1952 Bowman Willie Mays Beckett graded 2,
1954 Bowman Mays (ungraded, probably a PSA 2 due to a crease on right side)
1955 Koufax (ungraded, would grade a 1, may grade higher but i don't think so),
1951 Bowman Ted Williams (ungraded, prob would grade a 2).
1943 M@P co Joe Dimaggio (Poor)
1954 Topps Willie Mays Beckett graded 1.5
1969 Topps Mickey Mantle (ungraded, looks like a 2-3).
1936-37 R314 Dimaggio (Fair)
1939-46 Exhibits Dimaggio (I have two, one is Poor, one is Excellent+).
1941 Playball Jimmie Foxx (good)
1954-55 Spic and Span Hank Aaron (Fair)
Two different 1937 Wheaties Dimaggio panels (one VG, one Fair)
1936 R311 Yankees Team w/Gehrig

Frank,
I've bought more than a few cards from that seller and all are authentic. That being said the color of that W516 Ruth looks off a bit seemingly from wrong paper stock. Hard to tell without the card in hand. Perhaps the card is faded or was in a book for years. Or it is a reprint made from a real card. But like I said I doubt any shady business on the part of the seller.

Christopher,
Thank you for letting me know this; there are so many sellers who sell fake stuff that one tends to forget- people make mistakes! This is a tough issue too so i'm going to do the right thing and message the seller (because i agree, compared to other examples the clarity and color are off). Thanks again! -Frank
