While I think the 49 Leaf is a FINE looking card I can't understand why it sells at prices more in line with 30's Ruth cards rather than other Post-War/Post-Career/Post-Life cards. I mean it is treated like a playing years issue when it came out after his passing.

I mostly agree, but 1949 Leaf in general seems like a tough set vs many of the later ones.

I have always thought that. I feel the same way about the Playball Joe Jackson.

Probably more unique than beautiful, the 1960 Ed-U-Cards Ruth card is likely one of the less mainstream post career Ruth issues out there.

Any ideas on what the "A" on his hat is for?

Big fan of the 1951 Topps Connie Mack, the entire set is beautiful.
