Babe Ruth

[Rad_Hazard]

Here are my Ruth’s.

I’m on team 144 for sure.

And a 1/1 game used bat barrel. It’s pretty tough to find the outer pieces of bat when getting game used bat pieces.

Every time I see those cards I feel horrible that an historic bat was cut up to make a bucks for a card company.

I agree to an extent, but I'm also grateful as I would never be able to own a Ruth bat and this is the next best thing. I'm a sucker for refractors too so I do love it.

Did they really create a Babe Ruth bat card and use a reverse image photograph???????????? Of the most famous left handed baseball player in history???????? Come on, Leaf!!!!! Come on!!!!!

(And yes, I realize it's possible he was just holding the bat righty, but I don't believe for moment that's the case!!)

Careful Rad_Hazard...modern cards with bat and jersey cuts in them aren't always viewed too positively around here.

From the sketchy provenance to the destruction of sacred memorabilia, just owning one might get you banned from Net54.

But if they kick you out, they'll have to send me with you...I personally think they're cool. Getting to own a piece of bat used by Babe Ruth for the fraction of the cost of a playing days card? Yes please! Here's the one I picked up a few years ago....I love it (not as much as I love my vintage w517 and 1935 Goudey cards posted earlier in this thread....but I think it's pretty awesome).

Yikes! I didn't even think about negative reactions to memorabilia cards. Good to know.

That is a beautiful Ruth bat card! Just as you said, owning a piece of history for a fraction of the cost is very appealing.
