Never been any claims of forgeries of the Sanellas? Are our grading companies really astute re: scarce foreign issues? Of course the Sanella, being so thin, might cause challenge for fakers--or not.

I love everything about the Sanellas except the pose. Wish you could see a little more of the Babe's face. Probably the reason I continue to pass on them.

I like the 1929 Kashin card of Ruth. I'm at work, so I don't have a scan available now - but they are relatively easy to find (usually a few on EBay). I got a fairly nice (maybe VGEX) one last year for about $350.
Good luck, - Dave

All good choices so far. I haven't picked up a Sanella Ruth yet as I am in no rush. I too don't see them ever being anything but common...at least for the foreseeable future. The only thing rare about them might be the box they came in. I mean how many folks would save a Margarine box for 80 years?

Love the box Leon, I also love the "story" of the sanellas. These guys "lived" through the carpet bombing of Germany WWII. To me it just adds to the fun. But I'm a fan of the sanella card to start with, so I'm biased.

I ditto the sentiment the sanella is a low priced ruth option...but if you had a pile of period ruth cards...strips, caramels, exhibits, fro joys, goudeys...any ruth card i can think of and the sanella and, by feel anyone can tell the sanella is not like the others...and the image is cartoony and looks little like ruth!!!
Might i add a notion for the shonen postcard...also common...but reasonably priced...cardboard stock...and features a dazzling "the natural"esque image!!! I have owned the sanella but traded it away...but i still have my shonen.
