Default Topps Line Art and Painted Babe Ruth's

Posted By: Dave Hornish

I am sorry I do not have any scans I can post at present but wanted to get a discussion going on these. Over the years, Topps has produced a long list of Babe Ruth cards consisting of drawings or paintings. My count is as follows:

1952-53 Look 'n See #15 (Painting)
1953-54 Scoop #41 (Painting)Unsure if fronts come both coated and uncoated
1963 Valentine Foldees Wheel Design #6 Portrait(Drawing)
1963 Valentine Foldees #34 Wheel Design Batting (Drawing)
1966 Comic Book Foldees #12 (Small Version)Babe Ruth the Slugger(Drawing)
1966 Comic Book Foldees #12 (Large Version)Babe Ruth the Slugger(Drawing)
1967 Who Am I? #12 With Disguise (Painting taken from Look 'n See and cleaned up a bit)
1967 Who Am I? #12 No Disguise (Issued as part of a 3rd party game)
1969 Pak o' Fun Foldees (Not sure which #, should be the same as the Comic Book Foldees pose)
1970 Valentine Foldees Banana Design #6 Portrait(Drawing)
1970 Valentine Foldees Banana Design #34 Batting (Drawing)
1971 21 Tattoos (Inferred from Canadian issue) (Drawing)

If anyone has corrections or additions, please feel free to post. Would love to see some scans too.
