SGC has stopped putting Babe Ruth's name on the 1929 Churchman

[D. Bergin]

Now, here's an example from PSA I wish somebody could explain to me.

I have a whole set of these graded by PSA. All the exact same way. They only identify the guy on the back of the cards (the subject the playing card set was named for)...but the front of the cards are identified by their playing card designation only.

If you look at the cards closely, each subject is identified pretty clearly. This ain't no guessing game here.

I don't know if PSA has changed their policy on this set since...but it is pretty annoying either way.

In the PSA registry, the Tom Sharkey card is simply identified as "King Of Spades".

If PSA can't put names to these cards...I don't see how they could possibly put a name on the Churchman Ruth card.

Can someone post the actual photograph for the 1929 Churchman ,
I don’t think I’m finding it
Thanks

Not quite a photo, but another example where they used that photo. Maybe they say his name in Japanese so PSA labels it that way?
