The Collins-McCarthy is a great card in any condition, Mike, and many, many times tougher than the M-101 rookie! You'll enjoy seeing the value rise consistently in the years to come.

seeing as ruth's career spanned 1914-1935...which amounts to 22 seasons...it would make logical sense to view ruths career as a good story...which has a beginning...a middle and an end. I'd divide ruth's career into 3rds...the early years...or the beginning...1915-1921/2...the middle years 1921/22-1928...and the end...1928-1935.

On a different note those 2nd year ruth cards are tough...they never come up anymore...but I'm sure they are out there somewhere!

My earliest..... I've got some serious cardboard envy in this thread!

Thought this one should get in the thread also. Possibly my favorite Ruth I own. The Image(s) are amazing!

Yes. The early strips are also becoming top dollar collectables!!

Look at the "What's Your Monster Number?" thread. Over 100K hits already! I think it's still T206.
