Babe Ruth's First Card In Pinstripes?

[Jlighter]

The m101-6 is his first Yankee card, I am almost certain. As for pinstripes it could be w519, but I'm not sure.

E120 is card I have always identified as first Yankee Ruth I guess because of large distribution...And as a Yankee fan always liked the E126 because it is a 1927 Ruth

e220 predates e120.

The E-121 also identifies him as R.F.- Yankees, but it still shows him pitching for Boston.

We had a thread a while back where we were able to show that the E220 set was a 1922 set at the earliest not a 1921-23 set. There were some that didn't want to hear it but there is no doubt to me that it is a 1922 set, that would make it date to the same year as e120.

E220 is listed as 1921-1923 so could be earlier could be later I am no expert on National Caramel distribution..As I said in my post just the less than humble opinion of a Yankee fan and because of the large ditribution I always considerd the E120 the first Yankee ruth

Most likely the 1920 Heading Home/Tex Richard theater cards. I think Leon would firmly agree with that. M101-6 Ruth & some strips were also issued in 1920, but the Felix Mendelsohn portrays him in a Red Sox uniform!
