Babe Ruth

Here is my personal collection touch on the thread. Looks like it maybe a little while until I add again.

Josh, Nice collection! I like them all especially the 1921 American Caramel Ruth.

Thanks a million, slowly but surely working to add more as budget permits!

While the '33 Goudey Ruths are definitely iconic (and rightfully so), you don't see too many of this card. Kind of a fun, quirky pose and from such a recognizable - albeit scarce - set.

Seeing them all together like that is really interesting, Josh. I still like the 1933 G #181 best. Speaking of which, heckuvacard, Sean.

Thanks Adam. I'm partial to the #181 as well

Great book on Babe Ruth by famous sports writer Dan Daniel (Copyright 1930)....signed with an old-fashioned fountain pen.

Wow Josh! That is a really impressive Ruth collection. I love the caramels and Goudeys!

I'm also in the camp of the 1933 Goudey #181 (green Ruth) being the best, but I would be thrilled to add any of those to my collection. Great stuff.

Thanks for the kind words. I minimized my collection the past year and have focused on Ruth only, a challenging but fun project and I never get the same feeling from cards of another player as I do “The Babe”

I know what you mean. My VERY humble Ruth collection (consisting of the rough condition w517 and 1935 Goudey that I posted at the very beginning of this thread) are probably the two cards in my collection that I take out and look at most often. There's just something special about a playing days Ruth card.

So true. Whenever I think about next moves, Ruth is always in the mix.
