    Count me as a doubter. Corner wear & toning seem a little too perfect. The apostrophe on the back is a nice touch too.

    I say go for it. It's under a $100 gamble and are you likely to ever see one again?

    "Expire's" is funny.

    1920's oversight, or bad counterfeit?

    Total fantasy. I believe a Babe Ruth version of this card was discussed recently on one of the vintage forums. These are modern fantasies, probably whipped up within the last 1-2 years. Got an 11-ft. pole?

    Obvious fake, Though I'd buy it just so this scammer can meet the bidder from Hell.

    Use a credit card through paypal.

    Tapping into my inner Sherlock Holmes, I say fake.

    Here's why:

    1. Typing Charlie's Bar and Grill into google gets you nothing -- surely someone would have written a story about their account there.
    2. The current building was built in 1931 -- ahh, the internet, here's proof

    There have been tons of these Gehrigs and some Ruths on Ebay for a while now.I believe they are produced much later than what they claim.

    Not that there weren't "bars" in 1927, and all "drinks" don't have to be alcohol, but 1927 was smack in the middle of Prohibition.

    that is a great point... prohibition!!! doubt people would advertise they are breaking the law...

    oh well.. looks like we will test his return policy

    Not even close to real. There are a bunch of Ruths like this floating around.

    edited to add : guess everyone already said this.

    If you look at his feedback for completed auctions he sold 3 Ruths.

    that card is called a "Fantasy Issue". Its not a reprint it is a modern worthless piece of cardboard that some clown made himself.

    Basically Garbage
