Jan 1934 Baseball Magazine Ruth Cover

[UKCardGuy]

I recently acquired this Ruth Baseball Magazine cover in a lot of misc items. It's just the front cover and it has some paper loss. Does it have any monetary value (besides being a neat item)?

Looks like the original owner had it pasted in an album to show the other side ( probably a full page photo) so that’s how much HE thought of it LOL!! The Babe looks like he’s pretty darn old although I guess he was still trying to play… I think it has some minor value ( like $35-$50) if properly framed and displayed…… just my opinion….. it is a “playing days Ruth” loosely speaking.

Thanks for the insight. I agree, there's a full page photo on the other side. It was almost certainly put in an album. Ruth is at the end of his playing days on the cover. 1934 was his last year with the Yankees before he was traded to the Braves. It might be at the end of his career but, hey, it's still Ruth.
