My first Ruth...I might be in trouble..
 

Just wanted to show my first Babe Ruth. I absolutely love this pose for some reason.

Congrats! That exhibit is on my want list too

Hey,


I bought my first one too... Yesterday.. but it was the 1925 Exhibits.

Happy for you man..


Before I clicked on your post, I thought you had bought a fake 1933 goudey reprint that are inundating ebay.

You did well..

Thanks for the kind words Ben. I didn't think about people interpreting it that way till after I posted it lol. I was mainly getting at that I love this card so much and that Ruth's are so far out of my league that me wanting another one is gonna get me in trouble haha.

I totally thought you bought a fake as well lol. Great looking card!

Awesome pickup! Great first Ruth. My first was originally a W515 that I've parted with, but my first non strip Ruth was the 1921 Exhibits although my first one was in faaarrrr worse shape! I now have a 1921 in a PSA 2.

Yours presents really nice for the grade. You can check off a few key things too, Early career card, one of earliest cards as a Yankee, rare fielding pose instead of batting, great image, etc...!

Ruth collecting can be an expensive addiction, be careful!

The Front presents very well I thought. There is remnants of paper from being attached in a scrapbook on the back is the culprit for the PR 1 grade. And with them already having blank backs I don't care. I'm happy.

I remember my first Ruth, it was a 1948 Leaf. God I miss it!!!:(

u picked a great one!!!! congrats!!!

Any obvious examples?

obvious examples of what? a fake/reprint? Well the price is good sign? a '33 goudey #53 ruth is fake if it's for sale at a price of $4.25 or $9.99. One can search for themselves and say to themselves, "If you think it is too good to be true, it probably is!"


I just thought thought that the Original Poster bought a fake solely on the title of the thread. That is all

Oh, ok, I thought there were ones for like $1000+ that were obvious.

I haven't looked for those but i bet that there will be some. I would not purchase one that wasn't authenticated. If a person is gonna drop a lot of money on a card, they better do their homework and buy one that is graded by a reputable grading company (SGC, PSA, BVG)

Exhibits Ruth's are the best value out there. They are beautiful cards, with low populations, and they pre-date the goudeys by several years. They have a lot of room to grow. Congrats guys.

Beautiful Ruth. That's probably where I'll start, too. An Exhibit or a Goudey.

That is as good a Ruth Card to own as any! Congrats.

Very Nice!


I remember MY first Babe...oh, wait...my mind is wandering again.

Love the '21 Exhibit pose. There are worse things to collect than Babe Ruth cards....
