1960s Babe Ruth Baseball Cards

Long after his death in 1948, baseball card companies continued to include Babe Ruth in card sets, often pairing him with other prominent figures from Ruth's playing days as well as more recent stars. One of the more popular Babe Ruth cards from the 60's was a 1962 Topps card of Ruth with Lou Gehrig.  Shown at right, the 61 Topps card has a vintage photo of the two Yankee teammates posing together as part of its "Babe Ruth Special" series.  The series chronicles several great moments from the Bambino's career.

Another nice card from this decade was the 1961 Fleer Babe Ruth, which features a head shot of the Babe on the classic '61 Fleer blue pennant over red stripes style.
