I won a raw one on ebay in EX+ from a guy in Germany for $70 that took a month to deliver that luckily survived the journey unscathed loose and unprotected in a plain white envelope. I'd say yours should go for $200 give or take $50.

I had a SGC 50. I think I sold it for $45. It also came from Germany(Trading card Hans?)

Hans is a really great guy... though I'm not surprised by the shipping issues. He's had some sweet cards lately, including a Josetti Ruth PSA 7 and Abdulla Ruth PSA 7 (highest graded) which he sold for $2700..... and he also had a Muratti Poynton/Ruth PSA 8 and PSA 9 that he got $1500.

Some cool stuff in Germany, I wonder where he find all of it.

Now books for $190 NRMT on page 70 in the 2006 SCD. About 10-15 years ago (pre eBay) that card along with the Sanella cards would easily bring $1,000-$2,000 and considered rare. The Internet and eBay has brought hundreds maybe thousands of the German issues out of attics in Germany.

In the November 18, 1994 issue of SCD (page 50) there was a story about the German Babe Ruth card issues. Here are the values quoted at the time in this 12 year old article (pre eBay).

Sanella type 1.............$1,400 NRMT
Sanella type 2.............$2,000 NRMT
Astra.........................$2,250 NRMT
Bulgaria Sports#256.....$1,800 NRMT
Josetti Filmbilder#151...$2,750 NRMT

A lot of the collectable European cards and postcards are sold by Eurpean, including places like Bulgaria and Czech Republic. I know of an American who bought one of those German c. 1930 Babe Ruth/Harold Lloyd postcards when he was on a business trip in Estonia. He was worried if it might be a fake, but I said it was unlikely that Estonians would be forging Babe Ruth baseball cards to sell in Estonia.

In case people didnt know, about the German card sometimes sold as Ruth/Poynton. The card does not picture Babe Ruth, its just a guy that looks sort of like him.

If you want an indication of its value, there's one on Ebay right now:
