RARE - These B&W or sepia colored cards were found in packages of candy made by the Geo. H. Ruth Candy Co. The cards are roughly 1.8" by 3.9" in size and found with one of three types of backs, a Cleveland address back, a San Francisco address back, or a blank back. There are 6 numbered cards in the set. The set could be sent to the company for a Babe Ruth signed ball, which may account for there scarcity today. Some collectors feel the #6 card was short printed to make it tougher for kids to complete the set.
Beware of reprints (example). |
