Bulgaria Ruth - HOT?

[ullmandds]

I also prefer the churchman/shonen image over the sanella...bulgaria. And I agree that the demand for playing day ruths will only go up...all ruths for that matter! And the day may come when you look on ebay for sanella ruths and there ARENT 28 to choose from...like it used to be with t206 cobbs and goudey ruths!!!!

Obscure Ruths were my thing 10-20 years ago, which is why I never purchased a 1933 Goudey. I just hope there is enough momentum on some of the obscure ones to get them into a place where I can trade into a Goudey.

plus its in his playing days

The only negative to the Churchman that has steered me away from its purchase is it indicates no where on the card “Babe Ruth”

[JMANOS]

same pose but yes it doesn't say Babe Ruth. Its the most affordable Ruth card in his playing days without question.

I think that was intentional on Churchman’s part, to avoid having to pay licensing fees.

this does have his name on back but also is a foreign issue..not to difficult to find Ruth card

That Japan tour image was quite popular...

The Bulgaria has a pretty clear image of Ruth, at a game, with another super star athlete(not a bird, kid or generically implied). Identified as Ruth on the card and not just the flip. Those are key points for me in considering it's appeal. That is it's appeal as a foreign non baseball issue.

Same with me. As a bonus he is pictured in his baseball uniform. I prefer his Bulgaria card over the 1931 Josetti card that features him in a suit with Harold Lloyd, with only one of the Babe's hands on a bat connecting the image to baseball.

Those stereoviews are fairly common. I would estimate less than 100 dollars on it.
But everything Ruth is going up...

and a boomerang from my first collection. Always like miscut cards...

The value here is in 2x Ruth handcut Keystone cards. Double your money on ebay at $250/ea. I'm joking, or am I.....mwah ha ha ha(evil laugh)
