With all of the buzz around where the 1914 Baltimore News Ruth will end tonight I thought it would be fun for everyone to share their two earliest Babe Ruth items. You can be cards, photos, advertising, memorabilia... anything Bambino.
For me I think it is this 1915 Red Sox Fatima poster (signed by Smoky Joe Wood, so I think it is likely from his collection) that measures 18.5" x 12.5" and Babe's 1920 Pathe Freres premium (7" x 9.25"). The Pathe Freres now resides in a PSA 3.5 holder - its just too big for my scanner.

![]() I also bought an original photo of Ruth and his wife from this site a few years ago, but I just put it in the safe. I'll see if I can locate the thread.

Here is a taped back to intactness 1921 Schapira Brothers Candy card of the man, and a 1930 newspaper caricature illustration of the same man as Roman charioteer.

Best I can do is my 1932 Sanella and this Hall of Fame bust from 1963
