vintage Babe Ruth misprint/error card... junk?
Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Hello everyone, I am new to this forum and just by reading some posts I see that there are some very knowledgable vintage card collectors in here. About a month ago, I was given a box of old baseball cards, and in it was a vintage prw-ww2 babe ruth card. it appears that the printing press screwed misprinted a layer of color on the card, its hard to describe so here is a scan I made of the card. <img src="http://mysite.verizon.net/pc.wiz/ruth_misprint.jpg"> My question is, does the card hold equal value as the same card without the misprint? Does this make it rare? I'm not too sure what I have got here and I am wondering if its worth holding on to or not. Also, does anyone know what set this card is from? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone for reading this. <br /><br />"TIME: Nothing Is More Endless, Yet More Fleeting. Nothing More Precious, Yet More Wasted."<br />

Posted By: <b>dennis</b><p>it's a w516-1 strip card,some people do collect error cards and it's ruth,but i don't have a guess as to this cards worth. a normal 516 ruth in that shape would sell for between $100-$175.imo

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>Would you buy if it were red; would you buy it if your name were Ted?<br /><br />Interesting error, nonetheless. Yeah, what else is in the box?

Posted By: <b>identify7</b><p>I would buy it if it was red, I wouldn't if it were blue,<br />Id especially want it if it was w516-2<br />For the Babe knock kneed, pigeon toed and throwing righty too<br />With the offset print, for my collection it is far overdue.<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Wesley Liu</b><p>It is an interesting piece because there is an image of Babe Ruth pitching, but I think it would sell for less that a regular strip card. There does not appear to be a following for printer scraps, misprints and errrors outside of T206.

Posted By: <b>warshawlaw</b><p>they are fun and sell. <br /><br /><a href="http://imageevent.com/exhibitman/freaksandgeeks" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://imageevent.com/exhibitman/freaksandgeeks</a><br /><br />I have baseball and boxing errors of this type. I respectfully disagree with my colleagues who don't think this one would bring a good price. I'd not be surprised for specialty collectors to bid it into three figures on ebay.
