For PSA 3-4

It was around this time, collecting early to mid-eighties, that I asked my friend while we walked to our little league park if he thought there was any such thing as a real Babe Ruth card from his playing days. He, nor anyone else, knew if there was or not. Used to imagine what one would look like, with my template being black and white, some sort of action shot maybe.

So now, nearly thirty years later, I have a few. So this 80's card means a lot for a few reasons. A true entertainer on the mound with the Braves, stomping, raging behind the mound, finally delivering that 88 MPH puss.......The Mad Hungarian error card; It was a fairly big deal back then:

Great thread, w lots of GREAT cards and stories. My favorite two stories are the 52 Mantle dad pulled out of the pack back in the day, and the Ernie Banks story.

Far as the cards you have all shared, too many greats and rarities to single one out.

A few years ago we had a thread like this and I posted an N162 Anson that would NEVER leave my collection. Within 18 months it was gone. Today, I would say, this card will likely remain for a long time. I like the card and wouldn't want to spend the money for an upgrade, if one ever came available.

Upgrading a card that nice would be nearly impossible anyway! Wow thanks for showing it!

Great Wagner card, Darren!

That is a great looking card! Previously Andy Baran's? Thanks for showing.

P.S. - Did you ever think of getting it reholdered by SGC? There seems to be a bigger gap than usual on the black insert. I'd be afraid that it would damage the border of the card. Just my opinion.

the mylar sleeve holds the card in place I'm sure.
