I bought this mini Babe Ruth card for like a dime at the local card show. It appears to be the exact same photo as the 2007 UD Masterpieces card #2, but is smooth and black and about 1 1/2" x 2" - slightly smaller than like an 86/87 Fleer Mini card. A promo perhaps? The back is completely blank, but I don't see any listing here, so I'm guessing it wasn't distributed in packs. For a dime I thought it was cool. What do you think?

Not a card. Card image cut from the back of a retail box. Edited on: Jan 21, 2021 - 5:21AM ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*

I don't care what set it's from, but I just have to say that it looks absolutely stunning. What a beautiful card! And for a dime? Wow! That's a win. ------------------------------- #COMMONCARDSMATTER "The 0-2 pitch... SWING AND A MISS! Struck him out!

I like it. I hit those 12/$1 boxes like nobody's business and find a lot of nice stuff. Thanks for the info. I'm guessing there's no spot for it because there's no checklist? Mystery solved!

Actually, there's no spot for it because it's not a card. It's a piece of the box (and not meant to be cut out as a card). The "Wax Box Bottoms" were specially designed and noted on the boxes.

Interesting, because it's as close to a perfect cut as can be. Oh well....I like it so I'll hang on to it. ------------------------------- ~Aaron~ Please check "My Finnish Flash Collection" to see which cards I am looking for with my PC - willing to trade or buy anything I need. 2,169 unique Teemu cards....and counting (Last updated 8 April 2024) 828+ different Brett cards....and counting
