I just sent an email to Rick Probstein, and an ebay message to the seller of the 1935 Muratti, telling both that the cards do not depict Ruth, and pointed them to this thread.

We'll see what happens.

Steve

Proper thing to do is to send back to PSA one of two ways:
1) If the owner submitted the card to PSA, they should return as a mechanical error.
2) If they paid a Babe Ruth price for the card, they could try to get a refund from PSA under the Grade Guarantee or the person they bought it from.

This thread reminds me of part of why I abhor PSA, SGC, and all the rest... including those who seem to think they're infallible. EvilKing and Steve D are on it.

Yet did anyone suggest sending it back to PSA for them to correctly identify the stamp? The scoundrels, when they incorrectly grade a card as if they know all, then I think they should have some liability when they get a card wrong.

This article about the 1935 Muratti card was written in March 2018.
https://prewarcards.com/2018/03/04/1...abe-ruth-card/ but,
PSA still has the wrong information on their site. https://www.psacard.com/cardfacts/mu...ruth-26/631233

You can see that they've removed the Ruth attribution on recently graded cards.

There may be a deeper mystery here: Has anyone ever seen Ernst Brandsten & Babe Ruth in the same room together?

Steve,

Are you still "Looking for T205's or anything Babe Ruth...email or PM me if you have any to sell."

There's a rare stamp with Ruth on it on ebay, right now....!

Actually someone here posted about this mistake in 2017

https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...ight=1935+ruth

And PSA still hasn't responded to my email about their error.

Honestly, I can't believe anyone ever thought that was Ruth to begin with. lol. I mean c'mon. Like was there any theory as to why Babe Ruth would be hanging out with this random swimmer? More likely someone just said it once and then ran with it because it will make the card worth more and why-the-hell-not.
