i can't upload it b/c it's too big, but the front says "babe ruth sets record september 30, 1927" and shows ruth striking a batting pose.

the back says "chicago daily sun times, september 30, 1927" and has #41 in the upper left hand corner. there's a heading that says 'babe hits 60/sets new hr record'

the bottom of the back says 'see scoop #42- chicago massacre'

any info's much appreciated

According to the 2004 Standard catalog on page #422, there are 156 cards in the set featuring World History, 3 of which are Baseball subjects (Feller, Ruth & Braves move to Milwaukee). Ruth is the most expensive w/ a book value of $150 NM, $75 EX & $45 in VG.
Glad to help out...jay
