Default Pre-War Ruths on a budget?

I'm to the point in my collection where I feel I need to add a Babe Ruth. However, most are out of my price range. I'm hoping to target something in the $100 - $200 range. I'd possibly save up to $400 for the right card. I don't mind low condition 1s or even As to try to get down to my price range. I know there are Sanella's that are very reasonable as well as a 1929 Churchman's that seems around there. However, I don't know what else can be had in my price range if in lower condition. I'm not a fan of the strip cards, but I'd love to see any scans of lower end Ruths so I can decide what card I should start to target. If you don't have any lower end Ruths, I'd still love to see some of the higher end stuff, so show em if you got em . Thanks.

You could likely get one of these in your price range. It is a 1932 Bulgaria.

personally...I'd go with the early 30's oversized premiums...they are beautiful images and are undervalued in my opinion?!

Exhibits have taken off big time this last year or so!

Have they stopped printing Sanellas yet?
Edit to add: I think it is a beautiful looking "card" but far, far, far from undervalued.

I agree. Some good looking cards and with the work that Greg (Clutch Hitter) has put into these, people should feel more comfortable...

Not mine anymore...
