Thanks, Erick and Scot--was beginning to feel lonely re the '31-32 Exhibit. Mine is an Ex. I love portraits, and think, as I'm sure you both do, this is a great one. It's one of the prizes of my collection!
And anytime you want to rid yourself of that '23-24 Exhibit, Scott, I'd be more than willing to at least see if I could handle the freight bill! I drool every time you post it! Collectingly yours, Larry Last edited by ls7plus; 04-15-2014 at 03:41 PM. |

Early Babe Ruth Cards

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. Joe T. |

I guess that explains why I haven't seen them before! Wonder if anyone has ever completed the set of eight? Very cool cards.

It appears that REA was not convinced of the exact year that the Ruth RPPC's were produced:

My postcard graded by SGC as a 1.5 reads 1915. One of six graded examples I believe.

All of this early Ruth card talk is making me want to get back in cards(limiting to Ruth). I will certainly be making a run at the next 1915 postcard or 1916 rookie that comes up for auction. Fun thread.

Early Ruth Cards
My understanding is that both SGC and PSA are now grading the "American League Champions" real photo team postcard as 1915 as opposed to c. 1915.

edited to add, if a postcard is used then I go by the postmark for dating (usually).......so if it has a 1915 postmark, good enough for me!!

I guess my question now is would these c1915 postcards have changed hands at prices exceeding $20K-$25K if they were labeled by SGC as 1915-17 as they were described by REA in their 2011 auction? It should be noted that SGC is not incorrect in their labeling as c1915 means around that year and is not a definitive date.

Early Ruth Cards
This is an interesting write up and card "from back in the day" suggesting that the postcard was postmarked and sent at the end of the 1915 season.
http://www.robertedwardauctions.com/.../2007/227.html Regardless, it's a very cool card of my favorite team (with Ruth) from way back in the day. Ethan |

Early Ruth's
Quote:
Any early Ruth Boston Red Sox cards, photos, memorabilia, etc. have unlimited investment potential. While the EXACT year of those RPPC's may never be determined, the fact that they originated during Ruth's early years with Boston coupled with their extreme rarity is sufficient enough. They are incredible cardboard collectibles with infinite value growth! Joe T. |

c.1915 RPPC's
Joe,
Thanks for your input on them. You would know as much as anyone on these as you do most everything else in the hobby. Just happy to have some early Ruth in the collection! Happy Easter Pete Last edited by pcoz; 04-21-2014 at 03:41 AM. |

Joe:
What about the 1915 Red Sox "American League Champions" RPPC of the team with Ruth? Seems like both SGC and PSA are now grading these as 1915 rather than c. 1915. Ethan |

Ruth PCs
Ethan, if there is a date listed on the front of the PC, I can't see why SGC/PSA wouldn't list the year in the title. If they hadn't before, they probably should since the piece states the year. It's where there isn't one listed on the front, or if there is one listed on the back from a postmark where there's some ambiguity. Like Joe said, and we're probably splitting hairs, the period and rarity are sufficient enough.

Check this out Babe!!
Shown before (haven't they all been?) but this is the only one of these I have seen. There are most likely others out there yet to be found....

Seems like early Ruth cards are not the only early Ruth pieces that are on fire these days. Jaw dropping what some of the other early Ruth memorabilia is bringing in recent auctions.

Early Ruth Cards
I guess I'm referring to his pocket watch, jersey and the contract that brought jaw dropping prices. Out of my league, but very cool early (non card) pieces of Ruth memorabilia. Those team pins from 1915, I believe, have sold for a pile of money.

Me too... actually it is my favorite early Ruth aesthetically.. probably my favorite card. Would love the E135 too, and of course the rook, but probably not in the cards for me.. at least any time soon. Yours is incredible Jim
E121 Babe Ruth.jpg Kashin (I know- it's borderline "early") is my most recent Babe pick up. I've gained an affection for the oversized Exhibits, Premiums, and PCs of the Babe. I'd love a 1921 Exhibit at some point. 1929 R316 Kashin Babe Ruth.jpg |

They are special tour cards of Ruth. Since I posted those the batting one got sold at the National. I still have the throwing one.....They are neat cards for sure..Here is a lobby card of Ruth...
