Babe Ruth

Hard to pick between one of the Blum's or one of the m114s.

Those are incredible Doug, that middle one is a rookie image.

These are incredible thanks for sharing with us!

My only Ruth

[jingram058]

Here is the iconic follow-through. Russwood Park, Memphis, an exhibition between Yankees and the Southern Association Memphis Chicks (Chickasaws) in 1932. Many such exhibition games were played by teams on their way north after spring training broke up.

Guess I’m on the 144 team but these cards you guys are posting are incredible. I guess the 1921 Exhibits would be my bucket list Ruth.

Ha - love that card! If cards could only talk and tell where all they've been. That one has a lot of character and in some ways is more appealing than a higher graded example. I often think about all the tobacco, candy and gum cards that were carried around in billfolds, used as bookmarks tossed in a junk drawer or night stand and it's kind of amazing that any of them made it. One day I am going to buy a used book from an estate sale or antique shop and it's going to have a T206 Cobb right in the middle of it...I just know it!

The 21 Exhibit is my favorite by far. Great shot of Ruth and a very underrated issue.

The Ruth I want is the 1921 exhibit. And it'll have to be in low grade like Exhibitman's example. I have the 1921 Cobb and Speaker already. I'd probably have to trade for the Ruth, centered around my Cobb red. Wouldn't that be a beautiful display? And if I got the horizontal pitching 1921 WaJo....wow!

The only Ruth I own, and thus my favorite, is the 34 Butterfinger.

Really cool congrats.

[Leon]

I haven't seen too many "1"s of 4 in 1s.....

I picked this up on the BST 5 yrs ago (I was about to say a few years ago until I checked). Damn, I am getting old....
Anyway, it was in my first collection and boomeranged back to me....I paid 200 for it the first time and 275 the second time. Those were the days. If we had only known...
I like miscuts and other anomalies...

Yeah, that little guy fills a hole from the 4-in-1 I sold last year and couldn't really justify spending to replace. Feels like a wholesome mini-card, even the cut edges probably have 80 years of wear on them. Reminded me of the insurance commercial, "only pay for what you need". Happy to have it.

[ullmandds]

at one time I was considering an andy warholesque montage of quaker ruth photos. I settled on 5.

[ullmandds]

I used to be intolerant of pieces of cards...now I embrace them!

[Rob L]

This is my favorite. I have the bat grip card also, but not my favorite.

Wish it was original but still one of my favorite display items.

I have the original photograph by George Lyons of Babe Ruth & Ted Williams from 1948 with the photographer copyright stamp. There was a premium of this photograph that was put out on the market.

Here are my favorite Ruth items that I’ll pass on to my kids one day. Would love to add some cards but even in low grade they’ve become cost prohibitive.

At least you have his 1933 Goudey, and not a bad looker for a damaged card.

Picked up a big guy (literally). Trying to think what to keep it in. I like one-touches for my cards so was thinking maybe a comic book sized magnetic holder would be worth trying. Would be a bit of extra space, but just might work for displaying.

I have a large number of large items ; Beckett in Texas naturally does things in a large way.:

.. If that R309 still has the easel on the back then even with the crease and touches it's still a large number and Beckett is a good protection provider. Kinda like that vault option everybody and his brother is now offering, only closer .

My friend is a huge Musial collector and uses the 8x10 photo big boy one touches. They look great!

Yeah, that’s a good visual. I think the comic book one-touches are pretty similar in size but maybe have a little more depth to fit the thickness of the comic?

I’ll have to compare them in person, but that Ruth premium is quite thick cardstock and the easel on back adds even more thickness to it. Since the 8x10 is described to be for photos, wonder if it would smush a thicker item like this…or maybe not even close correctly.

A snapshot I own. Babe in 1942 at the premier of "Pride of the yankees" very small shot about 2x2 inches.

[Aplyon86]

My favorite only because I can't find anything else about this book other than from the auction I got it at. Anyone can have a 33 goudey, but not everyone can have an obscure book like this!

1948 Babe Ruth, Immortal Home Run King by Shichiro Nagami

[BradW]

It was a great mail day today. Given my budget, its the best 33 Goudey I'll likely ever have the opportunity to own. I came across this blog post about the card's history which I hope is true and not just marketing hype: https://blog.justcollect.com/the-onc...and-lou-gehrig

I think it is a great looking card and the color really pops and the missing pieces does not impact Ruth and the main parts

Congrats on the pick up

Congrats! That's a card I would be willing to take a swing on, also. The tear takes nothing away from the picture, name, or brand.

This is a wonderful thread! I appreciate everyone sharing. Great cards each of you!

[CardPadre]

Beyond thrilled to add a Ruth this nice to my collection. An erased mark was just the discount-maker I needed to make it possible. Super grateful to have it.

[glchen]

I love those premiums, Doug!

William, that's a gorgeous Goudey 144 Ruth. I had to really search to find that erased mark. You can barely notice it.

[BeanTown]

Love those supplements and premiums. Keep em coming

Thanks a lot. Yeah, not bugging me at all, pretty subtle overall.

THAT is a beautiful erased mark!
