The Current Babe Ruth 'Bubble'--Best Buys Now?

I would think you could get a nice eye appeal but techniclally low grade 33 G for under a grand...and if you had a grand to spend, I don't know why you would choose anything else. I am partial to the 181, which I think is cheaper than the others.

Also, if you could pick up a real (I said real) Fro Joy Ruth, that would be a good pickup. Many many many many fakes on the market, but Beckett grades them I believe. You might be able to get a real one for under $1,000.

Boom!, problem solved. Give me my 10% commission.

If I stop by your home and you don't have a Schapira and Fro Joy on your mantle, I will be pissed.

Oh, perhaps you misunderstood. I don't give recommendations. I give orders.

Low grade Maple Crispette. Tough Ruth card.

Most of the common Exhibit Ruths (1921, 1926-29 PC, 1927, 1928, 1935) can be had for less than $1000 around VG condition, they each come up for auction a few times a year and are some great looking cards.

Good luck!

ungraded '33 WWG yellow or red portraits - you can find these for well under a grand with nice eye appeal.

I paid just over $500 for this beauty. You don't see them very often though. But there are Ruths you can get on a budget if you're patient enough.
