Unfortunately, this is my only Babe Ruth card. I’d love to get an autograph, prime patch, bat barrel, bat knob, “called shot” ticket, or other unique Ruth item. But for now… This single Ruth card will have to do. She’s a beauty!

One of my favorite cards, and my old Babe Ruth card, is this sweet 1948 Leaf card that has been graded a BGS 5.5. I think it has an easy shot at a PSA 5 with an outside shot at a PSA 6. People don’t love BGS for vintage but I think if you find a classic card in a BGS slab, it can represent a buying opportunity. I have very little desire to try to cross this though. It’s not worth the cost and I’m happy with the current slab (if I did anything, id move it to a BGS slab that is silver rather than the paper just for aesthetic reasons).

Here’s another leaf I had to scratch and claw to get. Really glad I did. Seems the market for this one keeps getting stronger.
