How did I miss the end of this 'Bale Ruth' jersey patch signature auction?

Not my card.

NOT my card.

Absolutely not my card.

Is it common knowledge that Babe had three-toed emu feet? How did I miss that?!

Those are period correct spikes. My only concern would be the Babe's autograph on a chrome card. I don't think they were making cards and referring to them as "chrome" when Ruth was alive.

Other than that, I don't see any issues, although, of course, Ruth was much fatter than a stick man.

If only this artist didn't use the word chrome, which Topps trademarked for cards...

That is what the signature on this Chrome jersey patch slice of box cardboard looks like to me. But then again, I am no expert on signatures...this could just be how the Babe was signing during his later Blue Sharpie period.

C'mon, bale me out on this guys.

This card reminds me of the 1957 Aaron card, where Aaron is depicted as a lefty batter.

As a lefty, Babe should have the bat in the opposite hand, unless the image has been flipped and Babe now appears as a righty.

Could this be a rare error of the Babe and even more valuable than the seller realizes? Another Ebay seller not knowing what they have and left money on the table.
