W560 babe ruth strip card. I think 1927. I've seen decent looking ones sell for a couple hundred bucks, yours is cut short so it would grade authentic.

1927 was arguably ruth's best year so if you're stuck with a not valuable card that's one I wouldn't mind being stuck with.


If you google W560 ruth you might find more information -

edited to add - I believe larry fritsch made reprints of the card, never saw one so I don't know how to tell the reprint from the real, but with your partial red border I would guess yours is a real one.

Its a reprint. The authentic W560 Ruths have more detail in the background of the picture. Look for.... Definite color change where the hat meets the background.
Your reprint has been around for at least 15 years. It might be one of the Fritsch Reprints.

Here is an authentic one
1927 W560 Babe Ruth


Here is a reprint like yours
