Fair enough. I have always wanted one from his playing days as well. I might eventually grab a Sanella or one of his other more affordable cards. It is just so hard to purchase a Ruth when there are so many Mantle cards still out there to be had.

Hahaha, maybe I will wait on Ruth until after I finish Mantle? 34 cards to go!


Great cards Al! I love the fleer. Something I have never seen before.

I prefer this one, even though from 1951
