The 1935 Babe Ruth Goudey card that never was

[joshuanip]

Hi Tom,

The statement from Ruth's daughter has nothing to do with the proof. All she says was that Goudey was going to do a premium card for her father but was not made because he left the Yankees.

Does not prove the piece and remembering a very disappointing point in her father's life was plausible, as he was hoping for the manager job with the yankees. It does prove that there was to be a Goudey premium with Ruth as Yankee in 1935.

I can’t see any of the images in this thread.

A traumatic event in her father's life, and what she recalls many decades later was that Goudey had to cancel a specific premium card of the Babe. The same Babe that licensed his name and image to tons and tons of products. That's really odd. His daughter has this particular memory. Damm that strains credulity.

I am not her, but she signed it stating that the course of events happened and didn't happen. Not like he had a lot of baseball cards that year... and the course of events was a big point in Ruth's career, so there is a chance you would remember that and anything surrounding that.

But it's the same photo used in the 1934 premium. And Goudey used a photo from it's 1933 set which featured Ruth as a Yankee for it's 1935 Four in One set.

Oh yeah, this proof was also used in the 90's to create a 1935 replica of what the card should have looked like. There is one for sale on ebay.

There were 714 of these produced and each came with an LOA signed by Ruth's daugher.
