Babe Ruth $$$

[J-Yo]

For me, I think his autograph is common and inflated. I put more effort into Grover Cleveland Alexander who died around the same time as Ruth but lived as a drunken vagrant for the last 20 years of his life and is much more rare but obviously not in as much demand.
.With that being said YES I would like to own one someday and my goal is to get everyone in that first HOF class photo. I’m at 6/10 (have Cobb). The story goes Cobb was too cheap to stay in Cooperstown and didn’t make it in time for the photograph.

The version I've heard is that he was still mad at Landis over the Dutch Leonard stuff and didn't want to be in any photos with him so he intentionally showed up late. Cobb was on a cross-country trip with his children that included shows in NYC, it's unlikely he was balking at the cost of one night's stay in Cooperstown.
