Insert smiley face here.

lol. It’s one of the coolest photos around, if you cant find one i might have to part with it to enter “the collection”. It’s so weird that they tinkered with these so much and there are so many variations.

Don't tease me...

That's part of why I fell in love with the set. There are less than 700 pictures and over 1500 total variations (that I am aware of, so far), so on average each of them has a variation (although less than half of them actually do).

Received a new Ruth m114 today. Caption variation #8 of Ruth picture version #6. This is my 25th Ruth m114, and I'm aware of at least one I'm missing.

Doug you mention 25 Ruth M114's, how many M113's and how team photos he was in M113/ M114?

Happy Holidays and Thanks for sharing your collection. And for cataloging and very important and long running set. Maybe the longest running set in Baseball card History after Topps?

Merry, Happy, etc. to everybody.

Ruth does not have an individual m113, but he's included in the Red Sox Team m113 released in Dec 1915.

He's included in the Yankees Team m114s in 1921, 1923, 1926 (2 caption versions) and 1927.

Below are his 8 different individual pictures (the cropping on the smaller multi-bat version is different, note the distance above his hat), with the number of caption variations that I am aware of for each.

So, for those of you keeping score, Ruth is pictured on 1 m113, 5 m114 teams and 26 m114 individual posters for a total of 32 Baseball Magazine posters.

And Ruth isn't the player on the most posters (I think it's Gehrig, but honestly I never really thought about team pix until this post), although he does have the most different individual pictures (Walter Johnson has 6 pix).

do you have the Ruth Red Sox team picture? Cant recall seeing that one.
