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.

Thanks for replies. What about '35 Goudeys, mid-grade? Wise buy or too common? I do like the red, and Maranville also on card....

I like the '35 Goudey of him and picked this one up off our BST for $200. For me it's a plus as it is a cool miscut...

I would rather have The Babe as a Yankee, well, really as a BoSox but that's another matter entirely.

I wish they made a Braves card where it was just the Babe. I don't like that he shares the card.

You should be able to pick up a decent shape for under $1000 I would think.

I've always been a huge fan of the 1921 Exhibits and 1926-29 Exhibits (pose) of Ruth. I also think the 1926 Spalding Champions offers good value for a nice image. Finally, the 1933 Blue Bird is a really nice card with the famous 1933 Goudy image.
