Affordable Babe Ruth cards?

The churchman is great - old-school tobacco card printing look and size, great horizontal action shot from a well known photo, from 1929, and cheap (because Ruth isn't named on the card). Even if it wasn't the only one I could afford, I'd still think it was the coolest Ruth card.

There is another English tobacco card that looks the same but without "churchman cigarettes" on it. The brand escapes me at the moment.

Players, perhaps. And Ruth buttons and pins, such as Mrs. Sherlock, are pretty affordable.

Thanks for all the replies, fellas. To narrow the focus, I'm only interested in contemporary cards, exhibits or postcards.

I'm telling you, the Kashin is your card. Easily the best image and an actual card issue with his name on the front.

So to change things up a little… Why don’t we start listing cards of Ruth from his playing days that can actually be hard for less than $1000?

Ill name a few:

Poor conditioned strip
Quaker premium photo
Shonen club
Sanella
Bulgaria


Maybe frojoy
Maybe ruths candy
Maybe kashin
Maybe beaten mud 30’s exhibit 4 in 1
