Which Babe Ruth should I acquire?

One of my childhood dreams was to own a real Babe Ruth card from his playing days. Not 1962 tribute stuff, but the real deal.

So, I'm at this point in my life where this is now a possibility and I just wanted to informally poll this board to hear everyone's opinon. The card must be authenticated, preferably PSA but not required and at grade 5 or 6 (I'm only going to use the grade as an indicator. If I like how a high-end 5 looks more than a 6 I'll go for the 5). I'm thinking about selling my 1966 set to fund my Ruth card and finish my 1971 and 1972 sets.

Anyway, I like the 1933 Sport King and the 1933 Goudey where he is batting and it has a red background. Are these the granddaddy cards or what? Should I ease in with the 4-in-1 card or go for the gold?

Scans would be very much appreciated.

thanks!

If you are looking of one Ruth card, I believe that you will be disapointed with a 1935 Goudey 4 in 1. The 33 Goudey is a pure baseball set and the Sport King Ruth is nice also. The batting card #53 is a great pose. This is not it, but it is the last one that I had.

Go for the gold - and never look back!

The yellow Ruth # 53 is my favorite Ruth. Good luck.
