I fell in love with this Babe Ruth all over again!
I like to call the 1919-21 W514 Babe Ruth *The* Curse of the Bambino card. I fell in love with it when I saw that he was depicted as a member of the Red Sox, and read Yankees at the bottom. This is one of his earliest (if not first!) Yankees card.
I was partially heartbroken when I found Wally Pipp of the Yankees had red sleeves in the same set - Ruth's red sleeves were the reason I thought the pic was for Boston, so that went out the window. I took to the internet, and found a picture of him hitting as a member of the Red Sox and did some photoshop work. What I found made me fall in love all over again with this card. The artwork on the W514 wasn't just some freehand work by the artist - it was based off of a true Boston Red Sox picture. Check it out! Here is a video of me walking through it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbdHuMz-eFg Such a neat, underrated card that perfectly encapsulates the Curse of the Bambino.
