Added another 1920 Babe Ruth Headin' Home card to the collection so felt it might not be a bad thing to show a thread with the 3 different cataloged varieties. The first ones are very small at about 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" and the rest are a bit bigger than your typical candy cards. These are often faked/reprinted too. There is really no set order I am aware of as they were never cataloged by Burdick.
1st Series- Babe Ruth Headin' Home- small and generally had blank backs though stamps have been seen on some (as here).
2nd Series - Babe Ruth Headin' Home Theater Cards- larger at approx 1 3/4" x 3 3/4", *real photo card, have theaters printed or stamped on backs
3rd Series- Babe Ruth Headin' Home Tex Rickard Cards- larger at approx 1 3/4" x 3 3/4", *real photo card, have a Tex Rickard stamp on backs
And finally a newspaper ad from the date the movie started, Sept.19, 1920.....enjoy...and happy collecting...
