And Ruth doesn’t have a Sporting Life Cabinet.

I would take a W600 Cobb over any Major League card of Ruth.

Adam,

I believe that is the one TIK used to have and sold it to Chad several years ago at a Chicago National. It is the only one I have ever seen. I was 5 minutes too late on snagging it.

Hi Ethan,
The Dress SLCs were initially issued in October, 1902, Ruth was seven years old, those SLCs were continued until early 1904. From that time until the end of the run, in 1911, all players were pictured in uniform.

pro9,
You own these cabinets? The Hirschy is scarce. Do you have any of the other Trap Shooters?

Scott - You reserving Armour for a final trump?

That is spot-on, Scott. Only one I've ever seen either. i picked it up in the Dreier liquidation. At the time I was collecting everything Jeffries so it was one of the must-have items he liquidated. Had SGC slab it for safekeeping so now I can use it as a coffee table.

Not mine

Agreed, Wagner street clothes over any Ruth non-rookie too.

A few suits

what's up with the eye "enhancements" done by Horner in most of these cabinets? Was that a technique used by photographers of the time?

Admittedly, I find many of the images to be a bit creepy because of these eye touch-ups.
