Brian, I'm all for collecting rough cards when you need to (to a point) but that Ruth is tough to look at!

I failed to include a back scan which would show a back darkened with soiling. Avert thine eyes and enjoy!

It's hard to tell from the scan, but there may be a minor crease in the lower right corner.

I don't actually have any Ruth cards, so I guess I could say I haven't settled.
Plenty of opportunities, the shop I hung out at would hand me a Ruth a couple times a year and tell me I should buy it. They were right, but I never did go for one.

I have always been fascinated by Babe Ruth (as my screen name might show), and when I was a kid I swore I would one day own an old card of his. I'm 35 now and still don't have one....so I would be ecstatic to own a wounded Ruth like the ones shown in this thread.

When I decided to buy a Babe Ruth card for my collection, I settled on this 1934 Goudey premium, which looks great, but lacks the easel on its back and therefore only graded "authentic." I didn't want to spend $2,000 for a nice-looking Goudey, I didn't want to spend a nickel on some ugly strip card and I ultimately chose the '34 premium over an Exhibit card because I didn't like any of the poses. So here it is, courtesy of Buckler Cards. I still don't understand why these don't sell for more ...

I failed to mention the crease strictly for the purpose of accuracy.

Awesome thread. Here is my one and only Ruth. I always dreamed of owning one. It's not quite a Goudey but close. Not bad for a 1.5 too, no paperloss or marks.

Default A Ruthian blast from the past
It has been four years since I originally posted this thread, and I thought it would be fun to see if any additional mangled Babes have risen from the depths.

Was reading through and enjoying the images, NOT even realizing it was 4 years old!
