My first Ruth...I might be in trouble..

[CrackaJackKid]

Just wanted to show my first Babe Ruth. I absolutely love this pose for some reason.

Hey,


I bought my first one too... Yesterday.. but it was the 1925 Exhibits.

Happy for you man..


Before I clicked on your post, I thought you had bought a fake 1933 goudey reprint that are inundating ebay.

You did well..

[CrackaJackKid]

Thanks for the kind words Ben. I didn't think about people interpreting it that way till after I posted it lol. I was mainly getting at that I love this card so much and that Ruth's are so far out of my league that me wanting another one is gonna get me in trouble haha.

obvious examples of what? a fake/reprint? Well the price is good sign? a '33 goudey #53 ruth is fake if it's for sale at a price of $4.25 or $9.99. One can search for themselves and say to themselves, "If you think it is too good to be true, it probably is!"


I just thought thought that the Original Poster bought a fake solely on the title of the thread. That is all

Oh, ok, I thought there were ones for like $1000+ that were obvious.

That is as good a Ruth Card to own as any! Congrats.

Very Nice!


I remember MY first Babe...oh, wait...my mind is wandering again.

[HOF Auto Rookies]

I totally thought you bought a fake as well lol. Great looking card!

Awesome pickup! Great first Ruth. My first was originally a W515 that I've parted with, but my first non strip Ruth was the 1921 Exhibits although my first one was in faaarrrr worse shape! I now have a 1921 in a PSA 2.

Yours presents really nice for the grade. You can check off a few key things too, Early career card, one of earliest cards as a Yankee, rare fielding pose instead of batting, great image, etc...!

Ruth collecting can be an expensive addiction, be careful!

[CrackaJackKid]

The Front presents very well I thought. There is remnants of paper from being attached in a scrapbook on the back is the culprit for the PR 1 grade. And with them already having blank backs I don't care. I'm happy.

I remember my first Ruth, it was a 1948 Leaf. God I miss it!!!
