I always got a chuckle out of these two players/cards.

Torgensen looks afraid of the ball and King looks, well, I'm not sure?

The King card reminds me of Sling Blade... I like them French fried potaters.

Some very interesting posts here. What about the Sporting News Babe Ruth RC? Now before you Americans start plotting my murder , let me just state my reasons below, and maybe you might agree with some of them:

- It has no color
- It is small
- It has a blank reverse side (some of them do)
- It has a blank background
- I hate the pose. Ruth looks like he is breakdancing.

Due to the above reasons, I find this card to be a little on the ugly side. The best baseball player of all-time deserved a better-looking RC card, IMO. Look at Ty Cobb's T206 cards, don't they look just awesome? It would be nice if Ruth had something like that (2 portrait rookies + 2 in action cards).

It's true. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. He looks like a clown with a broken leg. It's grotesque.

If the card is not altered then why just the Authentic grade? I thought I read on here a short while ago that one can't just request an Authentic grade if the card is not altered/trimmed in some way?

I think the seller is just saying if it wasn't altered it would look like that grade...
