Someone should dress up a Freeman T206 to create a Ruth.
I did a Speaker portrait T206 once - have to look around and find it.

Yea Ruth in a Sox uni pitching-pose would be THE most sought after card in the hobby EVER!

I think the value would depend on the rarity. I would guess that is would be worth like $50,000 if there were as many as your typical cards in T206 but if it was rare like the Demmitt card it would be worth like $200,000k plus, but if it was as rare as the Wagner card it would probably be the most valuable card ever and beat out the wagner card. I think we would have then seen a 5 million dollar card if that was the case

It would look something like this. I think it could be a pretty good match!

I realize this is your hypothetical, and you can do what you want with it, but I have often thought what if there was a 1915 CJ Babe Ruth in a Red Sox uni...because that actually could have happened...
I'm sure it would sell for more than anyone, including Shoeless Joe, in the set. Cheers, Blair

those are some great and interesting "potential" images. yes ruth in that '15 set would be pretty increbile...who was the other big name hof'er that was left out of the t206? jackson and wood?

I like the idea/thought of a CJ Ruth as this is potentially feasible...but to consider a t206 Ruth...is silly to me. What if it wasn't Honus Wagner depicted on the most coveted T206...what if it were a unicorn? Then would little girls be interested in collecting T206?

I've always thought about a 1915 CJ Ruth too... it's more realistic because he actually played then, it was from a major sought-after set and it would be his rookie card. That would go for a lot of money

Good point Blair. He was a good pitcher earlier on in his career and may have excelled in that capacity if he played exclusively in the deadball era. My thoughts were specifically based on that caveat.
Home runs were so scarce that Frank Baker earned the moniker of "Home Run" Baker while even he had only 96 career home runs. Thanks, AndyH
