Default Babe Ruth & Jack Dempsey Aurora card 1965

Looking for more information on two Aurora cards of Babe Ruth and Jack Dempsey from 1965. I think they may have been part of the plastic models of Ruth and Dempsey. Thanks for sharing any information.

Those were cut from comic book ads featuring the models

Did that last cartoon show Johnny Unitas passing for an AFL record?

The 2 cards I received today are not paper stock they are a cardboard stock, so perhaps the "cards" were cut from a box of some kind. Any one know of a box these images might have been cut from?

Is it possible someone did a very professional job of gluing the thin comic book paper to pieces of cardboard?

It took me a while, but I finally found a month of Marvel Comics that used that Aurora models ad on the back cover, May 1966. I broke out my Tales Of Suspense #77 and measured the Ruth drawing and the Dempsey drawing. They are both exactly 2 inches wide, but the Dempsey is slightly taller than the Ruth. The Ruth is about 1 and 5/16" x 2", the Dempsey is about 1 and 7/16" x 2". Are yours a different size? There is a seller on eBay with an Aurora Jim Brown "card" that wants $50 for it. That is why I thought someone would go through the trouble of cutting these off of a beat up 1966 comic book and then gluing them onto a piece of random cardboard and then trying to pawn them off as a "card" at a profit.

Good research, thanks very much. The 2 "cards" I have are exactly as you say. The Ruth card is 2" x 1-1/4" and the Dempsey is 2" x 1- 7/16" a little wider. In inspecting the cards it doesn't appear they are paper glued to cardboard, there is no separation or waffling/wrinkling from glue of the paper onto the cardboard but I guess it could. It appears to me that the "ad" cards may have been used on some cardboard somewhere. It appears to me that they image is on/part of the cardboard. The "cards" are sharp with excellent corners.

This could be the source of your cardboard card. About 2.5" x 1.75".

Edit: I take it back. It's not even the same picture.

I've never heard of any cards issued with the Aurora models. They certainly look like Frankencards made from advertising of some sort.

There were some arguable cards made to be cut out of the back of a comic book. Like this one from Dell in the 1950s:



The fine print under Rosen says "Cut this photo out. Look for different Champion pictures in other Dell Comics."

Without igniting a debate on the nature of a card, I'd say where the mfg wanted the customer to cut it out and save it, it is on the card spectrum. The Aurora items show no signs of that.
