Your favorite Babe Ruth card/issue

[scmavl]

I used to own this beauty and it's still my favorite Ruth image of all time.

The obvious one, Baltimore News. I can never afford one but you can always dream anyways............

[Batter67up]

Every card of Babe Ruth is pretty special.

[Touch'EmAll]

The 1926-29 Exhibit Ruth Pose is my vote for "best looking" regardless of value.

Kinda blows my mind how they stay so relatively low in value (ha, if you can find a nice one). Check out the pop figures and you are in rarified air here on PSA 5/SGC 60 and higher. That goes for other 1920's Ruth exhibits in solid mid-grade - way super low pops.

I wouldn't doubt more T206 Wagner's exist vs. the 1926-29 Ruth exhibit.

While I lust over the Baltimore News Ruth, I find its easier to like the tougher ones I have than one I'll most certainly never be able to afford: '23 Lections Ruth and 1931-32 Exhibits [portrait, from the actors/actresses set].

Re the last part of the quote--I'm pretty sure the '23-'24 Exhibit Ruth is rarer than the Wagner, as almost certainly are my two choices, but does anyone else think the '26-'29 Exhibit is tougher than the T206 Wagner?

Best regards,

Doug I really like the La Presse one.

[DeanH3]

Another vote for the #144 Goudey Ruth.

I bought my Ruth card in the Spring of 1949. And, you can guess what I paid for this great card ?

$0.50????

My favorites are the '33 Goudey's and Sport Kings...FWIW.

I traded a round piece of copper with Abe Lincoln's image on it for the 1949 Ruth card.

I've been eying that one for a long time, finally found one for a reasonable price on ebay. Now I just have to wait for it to arrive...

Still in a close running with the '48 leaf IMO.

I have always liked the 1917-20 Felix Mendelsohn cards.....

My only Ruth.

[GregMitch34]

Just picked up this beauty at a seemingly very fair price.

I like the 1929 churchman cigarettes card. That is the one I think I'd pick if value was out of the equation.

[GasHouseGang]

I like the Churchman too. The same image is used on this Japanese postcard. Someone identified that this was from the opening day 1929.

I think you got a deal on that one.

I will go against the grain and say '33 Goudey #53.
