Jeff:

Without breaking the bank, my suggestion on a Ruth card for you would be the M101-6, it won't be too cheap but quite scarce and a very early Ruth card.

Nothing special here. Picked this up at a local Antique shop. Signed by Babe Ruth's grand daughter, Linda Ruth Tosetti during her visit to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame here last summer.

Last of the 10-15 Ruth cards I've had...sold my last 4 Ruths in a group of cards to help finance this:

That's a helluva card Daryle, and also a great decision to sell off the others in order to put it all into one great card. It's a hard thing to do. A very hard thing to do. After decades of collecting, I recently (the last year or so) started downsizing-upgrading my collection, and I couldn't be happier. So a big congrats for pulling the trigger of such a great and important Ruth card!

My best, Jimmy

Depends how big the bank is
Probably a 5k+ card

True, Craig, but at $5K it is still probably about 1/4 the price of a Collins McCarthy or Boston Store and maybe 1/10 or less of the price on an M101-4/5 these days. I don't like any of the strip cards so the M101-6 seems to be the best fit to me.

Awesome card, Daryle. I'm certain that was the right thing to do.

Got this from my father in 1980 for my Bar Mitzvah.
