Babe Ruth Yankee Stadium..need help identifying??
Posted By: 1966CUDA
I picked up this old postcard of Yankee Statium that features a photo of Babe Ruth in the upper corner...the back doesn't really help identify this. Just wondering if anyone knows the mfg. and approximate date?? Thanks in advance-Claude |

While it may be real (and an undocumented variation), these cards with Babe in the sky have been documented by some baseball postcard experts as being fakes. |

Do you know if it could be sent to PSA or SGC for authentication? I see looking thru the pop report on SGC that they have graded a "1920's Yankee Stadium" postcard...it does not metion anything about Babe Ruth. If not PSA or SGC, does anyone else authenticate/grade postcards? |

I know the big grading companies have graded postcards that appear either in the SCD big book by Lemke or the Beckett guides. Of course, stadium postcards aren't in either book, so I'm not sure. |

CUDA1966, there are collectors who specialize in these stadium postcards and know much more about them than I. There's a guy on eBay who's very knowledgeble about baseball postcards, but I forget his username at this moment. I'm sure someone else on this board knows it. RTO-something rather. He would be of help. The stadium postcard collectors use serial numbers on the cards to categorize them. |

Thanks for the responses with all the help. I didn't know that it could be counterfeit so I never thought of picking up another one without the Ruth photo...I will try that next and see if they are close in feel. I also want to get the book by Tom Crabtree..thanks for the suggestion. I picked this one up about 4 months ago...not from the same person who sold the Walter Johnson last week. |

Is this Ruth Post card real?
I am getting ready for the National and found this post card in one of my boxes. I can't remember where I got it- but I've had it for over 20 years. I'm not sure if it's real- can anyone help?
Thanks! Lou |
