1920 Babe Ruth Headin' Home - 3 series

Wow, those are really cool Leon. I've never seen them before.

Nice, Leon!

I never knew that there were theater cards. It almost makes you wonder: how many of these cards are in the possession of play/showbiz collectors, who have no about how popular vintage baseball cards are?

Awesome and impressive cards, Leon!
I wonder if my grandfather's saw the movie? They were 8 and 9 when it came out! They loved Ruth!

Wonderful cards, Leon! Actual photo cards of the Babe's first season with the Yanks, and first 50+ (54) homerun season. You make all of us drool over our keyboards.

Thanks for a great site,

Larry

Very neat, Leon.
Tangential to this thread is a still from the short Ruth did in 1931 called "Fancy Curves" which my inner fourteen year old acquired for its baseball and babelicious babe content.



Here is the short per YouTube. It's 8+ minutes long, basically hokey but some may find it enjoyable.

Thanks for posting that one Brian. I have never seen it before.

Thanks for the kind words too guys. This is the sort of thing that keeps me interested in collecting.
And wait...... there's more. Here is a Sept 19, 1920 NY Tribune ad for Tex Rickard's Headin' Home movie!!! It is the actual ad for the very card pictured above....

best regards

...so David does not feel all alone with his tangent of a post. I have my own Babe and Babe-a-licious item...a lobby card from "Headin' Home"...with a cuter "Babe" than the one from the 1931 film!!
