the 1914 Babe Ruth rookie card, featuring Ruth as an unknown minor league rookie straight out of St. Mary's Industrial School for Boys. To the best of our knowledge, only nine 1914 Baltimore Ruths are known to date, including the one owned by the Babe Ruth Museum in Baltimore. The Babe Ruth rookie card is part of a 1914 set issued in Baltimore featuring stars of the city's two professional baseball teams, the Terrapins of the Federal League and the Orioles of the International League. Cards were issued in red-and-white and blue-and-white. The newly discovered card is the red-and-white variety. The reverse features the "At Home" and "Abroad" schedules of the Orioles team beneath the headline "Compliments of the Baltimore International League." Cards from this set were also issued with "Read the Baltimore News" printed at the top of the reverse.
This card has been passed down for three generations in the Baltimore-area family of its original owner. Just recently, the family has investigated the value of this family heirloom. What they found was shocking to them. Last year Robert Edward Auctions offered the first-ever PSA-graded example of the 1914 Baltimore News Ruth with a minimum bid of $10,000. The card sold for an astounding $243,000

Your card is actually a stamp that was issued in Guyana. It is actually legal postage in that government. It was made to commemerate the Babe's 100th birthday, issued in 1994. It is one of a series of 12 that they made. It is a nice looking card with gold foil embossing, but unfortunately is only worth about $1- $3 in the US.

I know exactly how much it is worth. What you are describing is a piece of weighted paper about 5 inches by 2 and a half with a grainy picture of some over rated american sports star. If the card was blank it would be more valuable as at least you could make a note on it or leave a message for someone. Your piece of card is worthless. Throw it away. No one is interested.

Have you been to Beckett's? If you have, maybe try calling a card shop.
