Babe Ruth exhibit need help
Posted By: Martin Neal
I could use a little help in determining what year this exhibit was issued and whether it could be a reprint? I think I have seen it before but cannot identify it now. |

Looks like a 1926-29 Exhibits blank back variation, & I think it looks authentic. |

I was just kidding. Just trying to keep in line with the topic of the day. Does anyone know what the value of this card might be? I have not purchased it yet and do not want to overpay. There are no creases, but there is a spot of paper loss in the middle of the back |

My best SWAG is about $400.00. Edited to say I'm usually too conservative with my estimates. Any other price estimates? |

Yep, great image. Much better than Ruth's 1927 & 28 Exhibits in my opinion. |

There are 2 Ruths in that set, the "Batting" card like yours and the "Pose" version (below). |

I agree, the 26-29 Exhibits are also my favorite. The Ruth "pose" is my favorite Ruth Exhibits, followed by his 1921 card. Also, hard to beat Gehrig's 26-29 "portrait". That image looks great on a Exhibits size card. |

Frank, is your "side view" the only know example? If not, there's probably only a couple known. |

I dont own it anymore. I found it in 1999 (South Carolina 1930s scrapbook) and it was never checklisted then. SCD did an article with picture of it at the time (1999 or 2000). I sold it a couple years ago. Dont know who has it now. Its the only one Ive ever seen, and the one that updated the checklist and info in the SCD Big Book. From my understanding there is about 30-40 of the front view and only this single example of the side view, others might exist though. |

Thanks for the info. I've got one of the front views. I think they are very cool cards. |

I have the exact same card 26-29 with the blank back. Great pose too. I wonder which version is rarer..the one with the post card back or one without... |
