There are about 20 Baseball cards with 3 different Babe Ruth's, Ty Cobb, McGraw and others. I have 8 total of these cards but this is my favorite just by the way Gehrig is running around Ruth, he looks to be having some fun.

Hope I helped.

Yea deff a fun card, I just googled it, and found one like it but different, and of course with a different number on it. Kind of reminds me of a flip book page I have - but Must of been a set of these cards. Real cool and Interesting.

They are tobacco cards from Portugal. There were a set of I think 120 total cards and are the sister set to the La Morena cards. Very hard to come by. I've been collecting these now for 3 years and have found 8 total.

Was this set all with Babe Ruth on every card? or all different players?

There were 20 different baseball players/team and action with Ruth in like four of the 20. The others were soccer, track, fencing, etc..

The ones I have right now are:
Ruth/Gehrig (posted)
Brooklyn Robins vs St Louis Cardinals (action shot)
Ullman (New York)
Earl Webb
Washington Team photo in dugout
John Mcgraw

And I miss counted I have six not eight cards. lol

Hi Gary and Chris. Thanks for having me here guys. Its a great place!

Chris, I just sent it in to be graded and I do love it. Being an artist the color really pops on the card. Don't really care how it grades I just want to keep it from being damaged but can't see it grading below a 5 it's really sharp and thanks again.
