Most Affordable Babe Ruth Cards??
Posted By: James Feagin
For $500-600, what would be the best original Ruth card (from his playing days) available in a low mid-grade? The 1935 Goudey is a top contender. I'm also looking for strip or even foreign issues. If you could post some of your Ruth strip cards and what they usually sell for, I would be much obliged. |

Exhibit cards or things like Kashin are your best bets. |

Maybe this doesn't sell and you can talk the seller down some? |

The 1926 Spalding Co. of America is a scarce issue at an affordable price. |

I have always liked the pose in the Sanella card and they can be had for $200 in PSA 5/6 condition. |

Talk to Kyle. He posted this thread in here recently. Obviously he's trying to sell this card. Maybe you could both get what you want. |

$500-$600 is a little low for the PSA 8 Ruth I have. An SGC 84 sold for $750ish a few weeks back. I still like the Sanella's as well. There is a great German seller on eBay who has a handful of these cards. Few years ago, I was able to get two PSA 8's for $500. If you want his email address, let me know and I'll pass you his info. He accepts Paypal and ships well packaged and secure. |

I realize you'd be looking for more than the $500-600 range, but for a little more he could get a Ruth in near mint condition. |

Thanks Zach... if there was a rude tone in my post, it was extremely unintended. |

The Kashin's are nice: not as big as the Exhibits, which are also nice. I own a Kashin Publications Ruth. Another Ruth in that price range is the w517. I also have one of those (in blue). They come in lots of colors. Nice hefty cards. Just a bit bigger than the Goudeys, but not as big as the Kashin. |

If you don't mind oversized cards, r309s are very common and very affordable. I paid $50 for mine |

The 1932 German Senellas are probably the cheapest. I sold a PSA7 one for under $200. It's a nice looking card too. |

The 1921 Ruth Exhibit has priced quite strong of late and doesn't pop up too often anymore. You can expect it would be very low grade for less than $500. If condition is not an issue the card shows Ruth in a great fieding pose and would be a great choice. |

The Babe Ruth candy cards are a very cool issue and pretty inexpensive. Cards 1, 2, and 4 picture Ruth while acting in the movie called Babe Comes Home. Cards 3 and 6 feature Ruth in 1924 while playing post-season exhibit games in California. Card number 5 i'm not sure, I can't remember the picture on it. One of the cards feature Ruth and a young woman who is Anna Nillson, an actress in the film Babe Comes Home. Cool issue with a lot of neat history behind the cards. |

Cards are nice but most are probably overpriced during the current vintage card boom. |
