Babe Ruth Started his career in 1914 and played for the Red Sox A 1914 Babe Ruth rookie Baseball card - just the tenth card of its kind to be discovered - sold at auction in April of 2007 for about $270,000. The card was produced by the Baltimore Sun Newspaper. It's the second most valuable baseball card behind only the 1909 M206 Honus Wagner tobacco card (which recently sold at auction for $2.35 million).

There are a large variety of baseball cards made for Babe Ruth from the 1916 Sporting News M101 to the modern day Topps baseball cards that sell as low as a dollar. Not to mention the many reprints. Prices will vary. Graded cards will sell at a significantly higher price.

The 1916 Sporting News M101, graded Near Mint 7 by PSA, sold for an $82,250. And the Babe Ruth 1933 Goudey baseball card #53 sold for $38,187.50 as a graded card. Most Babe Ruth cards with high value are from the 1930's gum cards sets. A Babe Ruth 1933 Goudey baseball card #149 sold for $2,100, and a 1933 Goudey #144 Babe Ruth graded PSA NM-MT 8 went for $16,240.00 when it was sold.
