This scarce photo postcard is from 1930 and pictures Babe Ruth among some Hall of Fame boxers. The photo shows Ruth in the ring, probably before an exhibition match on January 15, 1930 in Miami Beach between Pat McGuire and Tom Sharkey. Also included in the photo are Young Stribling, Lou Magnolia and Jack Sharkey. The card is in low-grade condition due to missing corners, small tears, a pin hole and scattered creases, along with tape on the back. Photograph was taken by famous photographer R.R. Doubleday.
