    Does it say "Ruth" on it anywhere? Just a guess, but if it doesn't, that may be why no love even though it pictures Ruth.

    it does not say his name anywhere on the card, but the same picture is used on post card a year or 2 earlier, and it says on that card it is Babe Ruth.

    What is the value of the 1929 and the 1932? If they are cheap, it might be a great way to get a "playing days" Ruth.

    My favorite playing days Ruth (factoring in affordability and eye appeal) is his '26 Spalding. I still think that issue will pick up steam one day. It might take another find or 2 - if there are more to be found.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."
