Please show a card more rare than Wagner (T206)

Ted, gotcha...great looking card as well. very bold, clean.

Thanks, happy new year as well!

I'll contribute this one (the 1931 is significantly tougher than the 1928 W502).

Nice cards Jeff....

And to keep the Ruth theme going, I'm pretty sure these would work....

The E121-80 is rare "George" name variation....

Hey Erick. That E121-80 also identifies Ruth as a leftfielder, whereas the other version calls him Babe and lists him in rightfield.

Do you have any idea which version came first?

[yanksfan09]

Not sure Sean. I think I may have read something on that a while ago, but don't recall. Maybe someone else will chime in. I'll see if I can find what I read about it before.

Sean - I could be wrong but I believe the "Babe" Version of the E121-80 came first. I believe it was released at the start of the season and Ruth played a majority of his games in RF during the 1920 season. The "George" version is part of the group of rare cards released during the 1921 World Series. Ruth played the majority of his games that year in LF.

That sounds right. I just checked baseball almanac and it shows Ruth played the 1921 World Series all in Left Field, other than the couple games he missed.

To further complicate things, there's also the Babe and the "Babe" variations. Not sure if there are any theories on those as to which came first....

delete, double post.
