Nice 4-in-1 card!! My first Ruths were commemorative cards from the 1962 Topps set, of which I have four. But once I got snookered into the career-contemporary game (ha!), this was the Ruth I decided upon. Relatively inexpensive, and I also found the foreign aspect to be really cool.

Had a w515 strip Ruth but didn't like the image, then shortly after got what I thought was my first "real" ruth card... a 21 exhibit. However it was hammered to oblivion. But I still loved it. Sold off the original beat up exhibit and I think the same day I lucked out and bought a 1923 white border exhibit in a 1921 slab (since been re-holdered) for cheap. R-L Borders trimmed off but a real rarity nonetheless!
Also eventually upgraded my regular 1921 as well!

My three of #3. The one in the middle was purchased back in the late 70's. I used to run an ad in a local paper. This was before price guides (aka the golden days of collecting). A woman called and said she was participating in an antiques sidewalk sale the next Saturday and had a Babe Ruth card for sale. If I arrived before the sale opened I could buy the card. I got there early, introduced myself, she hands me the card and says "let's start the haggling at $15." Needless to say there was no haggling necessary. I paid for the card, thanked her for calling, and went home. I probably should have stayed and looked around but I thought I'd better just leave and appreciate my good fortune. The other two cards were part of collections also purchased from responses to ads years ago. Man I miss those days.
