Question: what Babe Ruth's are "affordable"?
Hi all. I'm sure that a similar thread has been created at some point but I cannot find it. Besides the Sanella's, what Babe Ruth's are affordable (i.e., <$200) for the average collector? I'd prefer that they be actual baseball cards but other types of cards work too.
As always, thanks for your insight!

You have to be really careful buying them but Fro Joy and Babe Ruth Candy can both be had, in nice but lower condition, for $300 or less, if you are patient. These are a little higher grade but the aesthetics would be similar...

it's a premium but I love the quaker oats Ruth that I got from fkw many moons ago. I'm certain you can find one for 'round 200.
all the best, barry

Thanks everyone. That 1932 Bulgaria looks like the best candidate since it is clearly depicts the babe (unlike the sanella), can be purchased for under 100, and is contemporary. The fact that has the quirk of being a foreign card is another bonus.

Condition was a little rough... but doesn't get much cheaper than this!

One of my favorite Ruth's I own and tells a great story on the back. Priced well too. And no, this is not my eBay account

I have the pair from the W515-2 strip card set from 1923. They were pretty cheap, all things considered.
