Two more real old Yankees including Ruth...
Here are 2 more old Yankee cards.
The first one is a German card for Bulgaria Sport from the early 1930's showing Babe Ruth and then-heavyweight world champion boxer Max Schmelling. On the back (which is in German) it mentions how Ruth was making $100,000 per year which was more than the president of the United States, so even back then this was a popular story worldwide.
The second card is a 1922 Neilson's Chocolate card.

Wow. That is a sweet card. One thing my Yankees collection lacks is some good vintage, like yours.

Any Yankees collection, old or new, is great!!!
But you would be surprised, if you look around Ebay, a lot of vintage stuff can be picked up for way less money than you would think.
But enjoy your collection, i have current stuff too, and i love my Jeter's and Pie-In-The-Face cards and GU cards, and base Yankee cards from all years all the up thru and including 2010, its all great. I will admit, i do have a soft spot for the really old stuff though. Thanks for liking my stuff.

Great cards. I love the story about Ruth making more than the president. For those of you who don't know, a reporter asked Ruth how he can justify making more than the president. Ruth replied he'd had a better year than the president. I wonder if Max was in NY for a fight and went to a Yankees game.
