Arguably the greatest baseball player of all time, Babe Ruth’s name is synonymous with the sport of baseball.
His stats as both a batter and a pitcher speak volumes, and the legend of Ruth continues to grow each passing day with a number of movies, television features and books devoted to him.
Any of his cards in mint condition would be valued incredibly high like the one from the 1923 W515-1 strip card set.

Career: From 1914 to 1935, Ruth played 22 seasons starting his career as a Boston Red Sox pitcher and ending it off as an outfielder with the New York Yankees.
