Owning Ruth or Wagner cards - recommendation?

[x2drich2000]

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.

One I have always been curios about is the Schapira Bros. Ruth...seems to be more than plenty of them around, I never see them change hands and yet they always have very strong asking prices...what's up with that?

great pics and grades there, chris.

congrats!!!

bill, i remember hearing that years ago, when the sanella's were just getting known over here, that prices were much higher---500 to 1000 bucks were not unusual.
obviously, once folks(from overseas) began digging theirs up out of the closets---particularly out of the books that housed them, the prices plummeted.

best,
