How many Monster Cards can Babe Ruth have? A lot, apparently. Below, I have a list of links to each one. No doubt, the Babe was a groundbreaker in the game of baseball and his APBA cards bear this out. I have featured him more often on Monday (Ted Williams…
This is a Babe Ruth card I don’t think I have seen before. It was posted on Facebook recently by Charles Cox. It’s Babe Ruth’s 1918 APBA card when he was with the Red Sox. It proves how versatile Ruth was. Not only was he coming into his own as…
Just when you think we’ve seen all the great Babe Ruth cards, I ran across this 1917 Ruth card. This is not like most Ruth cards however. This is purely a pitcher’s card. Aside from eleven pinch hit appearances, the Babe was tasked to hurl from the mound for the…
The new APBA Baseball Hall of Fame set is out! Mike Whiteman ordered a copy and was happy to see that Babe Ruth is still the same slugger he always has been. This is his card from the 345-card Hall of Fame set. Ruth’s Hall of Fame card has power…
From Eddie Wilbanks comes Babe Ruth’s 1926 APBA card. Babe has been featured on Monday probably more than anyone (1916, 1920, 1921, 1924, 1927, 1930) but his ‘26 card is more than worthy. In 1926, Ruth got back on track after his reputed “Bellyache heard round the world”. His homers…
Even in the midst of hosting the Greater Michigan APBA Baseball Tournament, Pastor Rich Zawadzki had time to forward this card to me. Rich acknowledged that while I’ve posted plenty of Monster Babe Ruth cards before (he’s right, there are five), this one is worth a look. Indeed it is. …
When Pastor Rich suggested Babe Ruth’s 1924 APBA card for today’s column, I told him, “He really doesn’t run out of Monster cards, does he?”. I’ve already featured his 1920 card, his 1921 card, his 1927 card as well as his 1930 card. This will be his fifth. Rich reminded…
I displayed this card extra large well, just because. Babe Ruth has the record for the most Monster Cards on The APBA Blog, appropriately so. I’ve posted his 1920 card, his 1927 card, and his 1930 card. Statistically though, his 1921 season may have been one of his best…
Pastor Rich sent this 1920 Babe Ruth card to me last week. I know I’ve done the Babe before on MCM but this is one of my favorite monster cards of all time. To me, it’s what defines a monster card for a full time player. Offensively, 1920 was a…
It’s a first for the Monster Card Monday feature. This week’s entry, the 1930 reprint of Babe Ruth’s card is the first time a player has re-appeared for a second time. The Babe was my selection as a Monster Card with his 1927 card back in June. Yes, I need…
