Here's another post in the long tradition around here of buying something and then waiting months if not years to scan it in, write it up, and post it. This beautiful addition to my Babe Ruth PC was purchased in 2020 if memory serves and three years later I am slightly less lazy in "processing it" thoroughly. It has been on my desk all that time, but still -- be less lazy Zakwin!
At the time I was a bit hesitant to drop the dough I did on it as comps was relatively scarce and the price was not relatively small. However, I really wanted it and at this point even if the deal isn't as strong as I thought it would be, it is an early '20s oddball Bambino item which is totally up my collecting alley.
I have greatly enjoyed looking at it each and every day on my desk and will continue to do so. The 1923 German Baseball Transfers set is not necessarily the most aesthetically-pleasing offering but it's grown on me over time and Babe goes perfectly with the Zack Wheat I already have.
Now, to just grab the Cobb...
It certainly looks expensive, but I would imagine that it's still a lot more affordable than cards of him from the same era.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a more cost-effective playing-era item!
