Regarding Baltimore News Babe Ruth

Kevin,

I believe Mr. Mint provided a bit of info on these while describing one of his famous finds in his book, TRUE MINT.

Also, unless you have already done so, give Rob Lifson a call. He is not only a real gentleman, he will kindly share what information he has on them, although anything he knows has probably already appeared in his auction write-ups of the Ruths. I would also ask him if he knows anyone else that might be able to shed some light on them.

Finally, the individual who spoke of looking through microfilm of the newspapers involved has perhaps the best idea. Look for an original ad. It is tedious, but sometimes very rewarding. One potential problem though. Many libraries will not allow such microfilm out of their facility. Too many jerks ripped them off, so you may have to go there to do the research.

I would imagine such an advertisement appearing in April, May, or as late as June. I wish you the best. I know I would like to know their story.
