Here's one from a September 30 1922 El Paso newspaper

I wondering if there are any hard copies of those.
Would be great to put them together and match them up with my card

I wonder what the value of a hard-copy example of those ads would be. $5,000? $10,000?

The advertisement I posted above is a hard copy available on eBay right now.

Meanwhile, searching Google, I found this actual foil wrapper.

This whole thing is one of the most fascinating Babe Ruth-related things I have ever seen. Jeff, your postcard absolutely amazing!

Haha, like my pops used to say "if you're gonna be a Bear, be a Grizzly".

Strong move out of the gate Ryan, awesome pick ups and best wishes on your new focus.
