Default Need a Little help! Babe Ruth 1921 W516-2-2

Can someone tell me why the image is different on this card? I see that most of them ruth is facing the other direction. Thanks chris

I don't KNOW exactly, but if I had to guess I'd say that it's actually a 516-1-1. Here's a little info on the set.

Given that Ruth is #1 on the card and his face is looking right, looks like you have a W516-1-1 instead of a W516-2-2. (Ruth is #10 on W516-2-* series cards.)

Compare to other W516-1-1 Ruths and you should see the image match up. Not sure if GAI can help you, but another service should be able to correct and reholder it.

We can be sure that GAI can't help.

Here's a comparison of the different W516 Ruth images. The W516-2-2 should have Pitcher on the second line, but it is trimmed in my example (which I no longer own).
