Babe Ruth Card Information

[bcookie]

i know this is the wrong forum, i placed it in the correct forum but i did not get any answers. I have a certified 1951/52 Brown & Bigelow Babe Ruth Cuban Winter League Schedule. SGC has certified it a 40.

does anyone have any information on this card? I have a picture of it in my original thread here:

http://www.net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=141159

are these a new discovery?

what would they be worth?

I don't think these are common, but I don't think they'd be worth significantly more than the 53 B&B although there'd definitely be a premium. Ruth collectors typically look for cards within his playing days, unique poses, or within a major set (e.g, 51 Topps Connie Mac), and this card has none of those. It's still a unique card so you should be able to get something for it.

As a fairly die hard type card collector the commemorative type cards don't really do it for me, most times. I think value would be no more than a few dollars on these....I don't think they are common either but they also lack the demand side of the equation so the value would be low.

since this is from 1951 and the known Brown & Bigelow cards are thought to have started in 1953, should these cards be a new entry in the card catalog?

I doubt a new entry and if anything there could be a blurb that might say **

"Cuban series thought to be from circa 1951."


If you have definitive proof the ones you have are from 1951 it might be worth passing the info on. There is still a ton of info to be had on many sets. Just a few minutes ago I sent OldCardboard a note asking if they want to update their 1912 Baseball Player Stamps with 4 uncataloged non-sports stamps from the series. best regards

sounds good. the only proof i have is that SGC is slabbing it as a " 1951-52 Brown & Bigelow Cuban League Schedule"

here is a link to the pop report http://67.90.59.68/sgcweb/PlayerDeta...cardsrl=392755
