Is this Ruth? 1935 Muratti Cigarette
I searched the board and did not see this card discussed before.
The 1935 German Muratti Cigarette card of Olympic swimmer Dorothy Poynton supposedly pictures Babe Ruth standing next to her. The card is cataloged as picturing Ruth. The more I look at the image, the more the man doesn't look like Ruth to me. Attached are a couple of images. Curious to see what everyone thinks about this card. Andy

Hey Andy
Hey Andy
I hope all is well for you. I love this board s/w and added a poll to this thread. Hope that was ok? For the record, I voted probably yes but not sure (I am an optimist) best regards

Yes. He was in Cali and scored some damn good weed.
Some say no because Ruth has his hands in his pocket  . Babe was at the Norconian Resort in Cali around the same time that Poynton and the US Olympic teams (diving and swimming) were training at the new pools. They had a popular golf course.

Thanks Leon. A poll is a great idea!
My vote gets more "no" with every look. The body type looks different to me. Will be interesting to see what the public opinion is on the card. Lets face it, this card isn't being graded because of Dorothy. Haven't looked at the card under the 'scope yet. Maybe Shoeless Joe is hiding in the background, too.  Andy Quote:
