I'd love to know more - I'm not familiar with this stamp. Is it not Babe Ruth but Rube Foster?? It looks like Ruth to me.....

Thought I'd try to find an accompanying photo. Seems pretty darn close but strangely, he doesn't look to be throwing a knuckle ball.



edit - I now notice his glove hand is higher in the photo.

Default Wondering....
The face in the artwork looks to be changed so that it looks more like Ruth than Marquard IMO. Could it possibly have been the original intention of the distributor to take the original photo and make it loook like Ruth intentionally? Just wondering.

FYI, am guessing you maybe meant Waddell (?) though he never played for Boston. Anyway just as FYI, Rube Foster is one of the greatest (maybe the greatest) early 20th century black pitcher, and is known as the "father of black baseball" for his work playing (in), managing (in), and organizing (of) the negro leagues.

Lots of early 20th Century Rubes to keep track of for sure ... Wish the nickname would make a comeback.

Quick link to wiki..

Also, I don't seem to see any Brooklyn Robins uniforms w/ red stripes on their socks!!!

As an FYI, Back in the early 2000s, this stamp was listed as a 1916 issue (and graded as such). I almost grabbed one as an affordable Ruth rookie, but glad I didn't, given the subsequent date ammendment and now all the speculation over who the player is!!
