Nice looking cut. I know it is supposed to look the way it does but I think a pic of Babe Ruth at the bottom with "Babe Ruth says" would make the card look a lot better.

Thanks for sharing

:


Its supposed to resemble the original Goudey cards from the 1930's. Those original Goudey cards (from 1934 i believe) had Baseball stars from that era that would give "Tips" on the cards. The original Goudey's used "Lou Gehrig says" quite often. Thats why Jeter is on the card with "Jeter says" its just to make the card look like a throwback from the originals.


Heres an original 1934 Goudey of Julius Solters with "Lou Gehrig says" on the card and then what he "says" is on the back of the card...

I don't think UD had the rights to use the image of Ruth.

They lost the rights to Ruth and a bunch of other guys when Topps signed the CMG deal.

The card is from 2008. They still had the license for baseball in 2008. They lost it in early 2009.

...CMG License is not the MLB license. CMG manages the images of deceased celebs/athletes.
