I agree, but I feel sorry for the guy who paid close to $400 for a card of Dorothy and Ernie.

Here's Babe's schedule while the Olympics were operating and the picture was taken:


Could he have flown to LA for the weekend?
Boom! Again, very easily figured out by a board member. Makes one wonder how much "investigating" the grading company put into this prior to grading the card?

X2. Hopefully no one purchases this one however!

If it was Ruth, you would think the back would have mentioned it?

It looks nothing like, Ruth, imo, and you're right, if it was, it would be mentioned on the back for sure.

I'm thinking the card must be incorrectly listed in Beckett's guide, or the SCD Standard Catalog. I looked in my 2005 and 2007 editions of the SCDSC, and it isn't listed. Beckett.com does list it as a Babe Ruth card in their database.

Right now on ebay, there are 4 of them graded by PSA, one graded by Beckett, and one more graded by SGC. So, all the grading companies are furthering the mistaken identity, but where did they get there information from?

Yep, my 4 years of German in college finally pays off! The reverse states that Dorothy was the youngest person ever to medal in the Olympics when she won a diving medal in the 1928 games.
