Default Need help identifying this Babe Ruth Card
Hey everyone,

I can't find any information about this Babe Ruth card. Does anyone know the year and make of this card? The back is blank. Thank you!

Cut from some kind of packaging/advertising piece maybe. I am sure I have seen it someplace.

This is a trimmed and glued to cardboard 1991 Sports Card News card. Doctored to look vintage.

What website is that? Besides the ridiculous estimate for a bogus card, they really butchered the spelling of "jewelry."

Lol. Here you go. liveauctioneers.com wow $200 opening bid or whatever. Pretty sure that's not just a similar item, it's the exact item.

You gotta like the blurry Babe getting up from a nap photo that is also offered.

The typeface used on "BABE RUTH" was available from the late 1950's - on. Good think fakers rarely know their typography history!
