I wonder what SGC would have graded it? A 20 at best?

It's a card like this that should be the most expensive in the hobby. Best player, not minor league, card not known to exist, missing part of the set, only 2 exist after 1 got thrown out, nobody knows where the other one is..........

with apologies to PSA, REA, Butter Cream fans and Babe Ruth himself: i'm sorry, but that's one darn ugly card. I don't mean the condition or grading, I just mean the card in my eyes has zero appeal. If all baseball cards were like that, I wouldn't be collecting.

Before the flames come - I do understand people have different tastes. I'm sure I collect some stuff that others don't find appealing at all (such as the 1928 Yuenglings, Harrington, etc.). But for me, even if I could afford it, I'd pass.

King, 28 Yeungling's are beautiful!

I think it is a very interesting item, as it is a very rare (near one of a kind) Babe Ruth card that is the chase card to complete the Butter Cream set. Any predictions on how high the R306 Ruth will go?

Great little read. And as they say, "truth is stranger than fiction". Have no idea what this card will go off for but it should be very interesting to say the least!
