Very scarce and that batting pose is classic Ruth. Forgot it even existed to be honest and glad it was presented to me. Nearly impossible card.

Great card!! Get one if you can. Here is what it looks like for those not familiar. It’s a multi sport issue, which makes it a bit of an odd bird. Very tough to find

Wow nice example there! As you said it’s very tough to find which makes it his rarest exhibit issue by far, which is another reason I like it.

I believe that his 1923 Exhibit is tougher.

That is true. I also rank the 1922 Eastern Exhibit, the 1926 and this 1931-32 movie issue as tougher than the 1925 Champions among single subject Ruth cards



If you go to 4 on 1, this one is harder too

This is more rare than the 1925 Champions? (thanks Peter)

Even if it is technically more rare, its a common pose and so it doesn't feel as rare

There's no comparison between the 21 Exhibits and the 22 EE IMHO. One is a flat pose of him leaning on his bat presenting a ball, the other is a dynamic pose in the outfield ready to receive the ball. B&W > Sepia too. I don't care how "rare" it is but I'm an image collector so it's 21 Exhibits for me all the way.
