1928 Fro Jo Ruths

[Snapolit1]

When I see a graded 1928 Ruth card show up on eBay with a $99.00 BIN I have to wonder.

If anyone can point me to another graded Ruth card from the peak of his career going to less than $100 please do. I'd be interested in buying it.

You are mistaking if you think those grip cards aren't real. They are but who wants a card of a hand grip? Education/experience is the key here. I almost pulled the trigger on the others but already have some and the prices aren't that low for the conditions. (no grip cards please)

One of the amusing side-bars to the set is card number #1 (I think) of Ruth sitting down in the dugout. The photographer politely asks if Ruth wouldn't mind taking his gum out during the shoot. The Babe, always obliging, parks it on top of his cap where it can be clearly seen in the photo. Great stuff.

Don't make me get the black light out.

Those look good from the scans. Nice grip cards too!!

Thanks, Leon

As had been said, get a Tunney for comparison as that card hasn't been reprinted and forged as the Ruth.

These help in your learning, although they're tougher to find than Ruth (no longer own some of the Tunney's).
