Owning Ruth or Wagner cards - recommendation?

[paulcarek]

A couple other suggestions:

May be a bit too spendy, but you may be able to find a technically low-grade T200 Pittsburgh NL that looks nice.

Also, the Sanella Margerine Ruth is a nice card, and you can probably find a decent one in your price range.

Anyway, good luck!

As Paul said, the Sanella Margerine Ruth looks like it would fit your criteria. Not mine, but here's one on Ebay now http://cgi.ebay.com/1932-Sanella-Mar...item2a0ce46898

Also, if you don't mind a card from later in life, you could look at the 48/49 Leaf cards as possibilities.

That Sanella Ruth is a great recommendation. I'll check out the Wagner options. This is very helpful. Thanks and all additional suggestions are appreciated!

i like and have the bulgaria and sanella ruth, in part because they're ruth, but even of greater import for me is they're being great foreign cards with the
german language displayed beautifully on the backs.
another ruth that i have that can be found inexpensively is the butterfinger'34

with respect to wagner the only inexpensive ones that i have are the
'36 fine pens from his coaching days which shows him incredibly aged and wise and the one available on the T200 pittsburgh.

all the best,

I concur with Barry et al who have made similar remarks in this thread. The Sanella and Bulgaria are both nice cards from Ruth's playing days that can be owned in superior condition at relatively low prices to other Ruth cards from the same era.

I agree with the info above, i like the WG4 (1914 Polo Ground Game) Wagner. Card can be found around that price in vg to ex range. Best of luck!

In my opinion, Sanella Ruths are under priced.
