Great Pre-WWII baseball cards

[Leon]

This F52 Froy Joy Ruth Portrait isn't that great but at least it is a pre-wwII baseball card and we can talk about it. And that is more than I can say for a lot of threads on the front page recently. Sure would be nice to see some more card related threads. The show threads and others are great but I always like the card threads a lot..

I am sure this was shown before but it was a gladly accepted boomerang from submitting my collection to SGC when I sold it. They don't grade these. I wish they would except for this one instance(since I got to keep it). Btw, these are a great alternative to other period Ruth cards and can be had for a fraction of many others.

Love that card Leon. Not a lot of real Babe portraits out there... maybe the Maple Crispette is the one with him the youngest. SGC should figure out how to grade them especially if they are doing his Candy cards again... here's my Maple and a tough Ruth Candy I own.

I do agree Dave but there are lots better cards of him imo.....The Fro Joys are still cool though... We all need more Ruth cards...I know I do. My avatar is about my only other one currently..

That's one hell of a 2.5 Leon

A great Ruth card that doesn't quite garner the respect it deserves is the 1933 Sport Kings. Great pose and artistry, and can go for a reasonable Ruthian amount.

These are my favorite poses of the Fro-joy and Ruth Candy cards. Leon, I assume Beckett still grades the Fro-joys.
