Default Show Any & All Things of the Bambino!

After all of the "Show Your" threads I've started over the last 2+ years, I just realized that I never started one for the Babe. Just how absurd is that!

Default Babe Ruth

This first item I've never seen before I purchased it in 04 and haven't seen it since. It came from the online portion of Halper's sale. I'd say it's about 10 inches tall and the top of the baseball was designed to be a diecut sort of piece that was never used. The second item is an unused membership card and envelope to the Babe's Baseball Club.

I love this also...a mosaic of Ruths face made from those tiny 1991-1993 Topps micro baseball cards. the farther back you get the more it looks like him.

Hey Roy,

I can't speak for the autographs, but the image is definitely from '21. Nice piece!

Default Really Rare Dual Ruth & Dempsey baseball

Has anyone ever seen Ruth and Dempsey dual autographed items? These Drinking buddies did just that on this ball located on eBay. This is a bold signature Of Ruth, looks like a steal right now at $2700 and 2 days left

Here is a pair of c. 1930 Babe Ruth All-American Underwear related items. First off is a vintage original photo of the Bambino (looking quite fit), that originates from the Christy Walsh Family Archives. This famous image of Ruth was said to be his favorite and also graced the cover of his popular underwear box. Note: Babe liked this photo so much that he commissioned a large painting of it that proudly hung in his apartment. It can be seen in an image in the Barry Halper Catalogs.

Purchased as a companion piece for the original photo is this seldom seen 4x5 Babe Ruth Underwear glass advertising slide that was used in movie theaters to advertise the sponsor's goods. A fragile piece that remains in top-notch condition.

Nice photo! BTW, the guy on the left, holding the bat straight up, is Yankee outfielder--and Derek Jeter look-alike--W. F. "Birdie" Cree, who had been sent down to Baltimore in 1914. Here's the contract he signed later that year when he returned to the Yankees.

Another terrific signed Ruth piece! Jeez David, I'm still in need of just one. But, I'm holding out for one made out to "Jimmy" much like your killer auto page made out to "My pal David"! If I could only get so lucky.

Please let me know if you ever come across a Jimmy/Ruth auto.

I've got one, Jimmy. But you'll have to change your last name to "Flynn."

Putting an ad for your ebay item in a thread is annoying, but it is slightly less annoying if you admit that's what you are doing when you do it.

There is actually a special section in the BST for your ad, I noticed that you did not make mention of your item in that section.

Pete:

Wish you still had it too, I would be trying to buy it from you (but probably could not afford it).

Here is the earliest known professional baseball team photo of the Bambino, Opening Day, 1914 Baltimore American News (Babe is in the front row, center)..........

This original George Burke 1935 portrait of the Babe in his last hurrah, is certainly one of his final posed images as a Ballplayer, as this photo was taken by Burke in Chicago between May 9th and May 21st. Of course the Bambino's last game was played at Forbes Field in Pittsburgh on May 25th, 1935.

Default Is this a George Burke Stand-up?

More information about George Burke Stand-ups can be found at this link:
http://net54baseball.com/showthread.php?t=113202

This was picked up yesterday, has some of the same characteristics of a Burke Stand-up (right size, beveled wood, same thickness and style. It is approx. 7" tall and obviously pasted against a (newer) board instead of in a stand. Perhaps you have seen this picture before? If so is it a known Burke photo.
