Default Early Ruth Cards
It seems like fewer and fewer early Ruth cards are being offered in recent high profile auctions and on the web. I know that the 1914 Baltimore News, the 1915 real photo team postcard and the 1916 M 101 have been "on fire" for the past year. It seems like people are just holding on to these examples even if they were lucky enough to have paid a fraction of what the cards might bring in today's market. Even the "more modern" rare Ruth stuff is bringing a premium.

Early, and mostly all, Ruth cards have been going up. I wish I would have picked up a few more years ago....These are from '21.

After bidding on a few Goudey Ruths lately I think the whole Ruth (true vintage) market is quite hot. I did a quick count on my site and it looks like I have 58 different, period, Ruths. I guess I have him covered so far....Always room for more though....

Speaking of early Ruths: I am waiting patiently for a certain board member to sell me a certain early Ruth.

You know who you are, buddy! One day I'm gonna get the call it's for sale

I'd love to see some early Ruth cards that folks have. Seems like many are becoming "untouchable" for even the advanced collector.

1921 was also the Babe's best year, Brad, with, going by memory, 44 doubles, 16 triples, and 59 HR's, yielding a record 119 extra-base hits, together with 170+ RBI (?) and a .378 average, easily exceeding the 1927 60 homer year. Also the first year the Yankees won the pennant (although they subsequently lost to the Giants in the World Series). These instants from the player's life, preserved for decades, centuries, milleniums (?), connect me to the player and take me back to the time!

Best regards,

Larry

Ethan,

The Babe Ruth Headin Home cards are from 1920. Eight different cards were issued to promote the Babe's first movie titled "Headin Home". They are extremely scarce and valuable.
