Babe Ruth Item - What would you buy with $500?

[Topps206]

There are probably some lower grade 33 Goudeys I could find at that price.

Edit: I guess not. Only one severely damaged one is less than $500.00 on the Bay. There is a graded one at $515.00. The cards are still a drop in the bucket compated to Plank, much less Wagner.

I agree with the 1935 Goudey if you are giving it away at an event as a prize... as it is an item that more people would recognize/appreciate... My .02...

Although not popular, I think you could get a decent looking strip card for around $500. Here are some examples.

I am partial to memorabilia so if not a type 1 photo how about one of these?

I'm partial to the Shonen Ruth. It's an attractive card, but relatively cheap:

Step it up to $600 (or so) and get a Kreindler Ruth study.

Now, that would be killer.

Great idea on Kreindler study! Love mine!

Also another option would be the 1934 Goudey Premium (much larger than standard card) if you can find one...

Love those Ruth Cards. Thanks!!

One of the low grade 1948 leaf cards would be a nice choice. You can usually get a PSA 1 or 1.5 for around $500.
