Yesterday my kid bought a pack of cards and inside I found a Baby Ruth card but it doesn't have a ny number or brand name. All it says is the years he played, some info on him. Is colored orange and it is not a picture it's a drawing. Does anyone have any idea how much this card is worth.
And the other card is from the Ted Williams Card Company. It's a 1993 and the guys name is Helzman or something like that. I was looking in the Becket for both cards but couldn't find neither of them.
Need help with the pricing.
Thanks.

It's "Babe" not "Baby" and is there a card number in the set? 121 Is Babe but I believe it's a photo. If it's that card it's worth a surprising $3.50.

If it's card #6 (which is my guess) from the Locklear collection it's worth $8.

If it was in one of those packs that have like 75 - 150 cards for cheap. I know which card you are talking about. But i dont know how much its worth. I opened a pack like that in may and found a tris speaker on like it. I am still surprised about how it does not have a year, or set name on it.

The Ruth is likely fromthe 1987 Hygrade Baseball's All-Time Greats (http://www.baseball-almanac.com/baseball_cards/baseball_cards_oneset.php?s=1987hyg01) set. There were green and orange versions. Is this the card? (http://cgi.ebay.com/1987-Hygrade-All-Time-Greats-38A-Babe-Ruth_W0QQitemZ230155932587QQihZ013QQcategoryZ14991 7QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem)
It books for a few bucks, but they're not hard to find, so there isn't much demand for them. They used to be found in lots of those kinds of grab bag packs that were really popular in the boom years of '87-92.
