Default Babe Ruth Headin' Home Circa 1920 And Other Lobby Cards

One of the little niches of collecting is Movie Lobby Cards. So this is a little O/T as they aren't really cards per se. But probably the closest I will get to owning another of the Headin' Home cards since the prices have risen so much. Any one else collect Lobby Cards? If not then I guess now is a great time to pick some up.

This one had the bottom left corner taped back on and I was unaware of it when bought. The seller said I could return it but where am I going to find another?
( a stack of them will probably show up tomorrow )

Me too, I forgot I had this one below. One of the cooler movie cards I have seen of him. The size is 5 x 7 on card stock. I was surprised it didn't go for more when I paid up for it not that long ago.
But they are two different movies. My understanding is that a Babe Comes Home movie has never surfaced whereas Babe in Headin' Home movies whereabouts are known. Not that it matters a lot.

Default Babe the Movie Star

Some really nice items here guys, a Ruth niche of collecting. Here`s a few pieces accumulated through the years. 1st one, an 8 X 10 type 1 photo from the movie "Headin Home". The next 2, cool ticket shaped like a ball for obvious reasons and an antique leather suitcase with a hand painted advertisement both for "Babe Comes Home". Leon that large shot of the Babe is awesome. Remember when it came up and how nice it was !

RKO Theaters Babe Ruth premium, apparently handed out at the Babe's funeral according to the story a previous owner wrote on the back of mine.

I wrote more about it here https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...light=theaters

Here's a neat Joe Tinker card for a stage show he apparently did, "Oh! You Short Stop Kid!"

These are also from cinematic-themed sets:

1929 (I know 'cause it says so on the card):



1931-32:



He appeared in 5 films in 1932, all as himself.
