Your favorite Babe Ruth card/issue

[Batter67up]

Every card of Babe Ruth is pretty special.

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?

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 ?

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

Unless Lincoln was shot with a copper bullet, and by image you mean skull, you win.
