Thanks for all of that. You seem totally calm and not a thin-skinned hothead at all. Whatever you do, DON'T smash your keyboard. You will need that if you wish to continue embarrassing yourself.

Still probably not Babe Ruth.

Looks like these are still in circulation. With Ruth cards being hot lately, I'm sure there are some others getting some pretty decent prices. For those that don't know about this card, you might appreciate this thread?
I wrote the seller to let him know.

Another copy of this mis-identified card has just shown up in Heritage's Sep 29th weekly sports auction.

I emailed Heritage and pointed them to this thread.

Lot # 285: 1935 Muratti CIgarette Olympischen Spielen #38 Poynton/"Babe Ruth" PSA 5 EX


It is pretty common knowledge that the gentleman featured in the card is NOT Ruth, but rather Poynton's coach . Frankly it doesn't look very much like Ruth. Anyway the card still enjoys notoriety and can still be found in incorrect slabs like this one. This is a heckuva PSA 5 with nice centering and only minor to light corner wear and light toning.

And even with your accurate writeup, the bidding still got to around $150. Either some folks just like the Ruth name on the slab's label, or they got the hots for swimming suit clad Dorothy Poynton.
