I am happy with my 1932 Sanella Type 2 PSA 8 Babe Ruth. I think this card is overlooked and unjustly underrated. Some of this because this is an over sea's made sports card. However overall this is a great looking sports card of one of the greats of baseball. Plus this card was made during Babe Ruths active playing days. This is not a tribute card made after Babe Ruth was dead and gone. Cheers!

If you want a challenge, try finding the Astra brand variation. I had one get lost en route from Europe and have not been able to replace it.

I also wanted a Sanella and I have noticed the steady increase in their price. I ended up getting this cut '34 Exhibit and trimmed '34 Quaker Oats instead. Gave $90 for both

This is a photo of my PSA 8 Sanella Type 2 Babe Ruth without going through a link. Plus a couple other cards in my collection.

Have any of you got pictures you can of the back of the type 1 and 3 1932 Sanella Babe Ruth? And what separates the three types of 1932 Sanella Babe Ruth's? Thanks.

Don't have pictures of the 1st two variations but I do remember its is really just the placement of the advertiser on the back (Sanella). (center and bottom of back of card with no numbering) Variation 3 the Sanella is at bottom of card and is numbered (83). The Astra is harder to find.

There is also a Bulgarian issue of Ruth pictured with Max Schmeling that is also fairly inexpensive and not to hard to find.... good copies of Sanella and Bulgaria Sport can be had for about $200...
