Why is there a candy named after Babe Ruth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The generally accepted answer is that it was named for President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth. It was probably not, despite what people often suggest, named after Babe Ruth. ---- IN FACT:

1Although the name of the candy bar sounds nearly identical to the name of the famous baseball player Babe Ruth, the Curtiss Candy Company has traditionally claimed that it was named after President Grover Cleveland's daughter, Ruth Cleveland. Nonetheless, the bar first appeared in 1920, as Babe Ruth's fame was on the rise and long after Cleveland had left the White House and 16 years after his daughter had died. Moreover, the company had failed to negotiate an endorsement deal with Ruth, and many saw the company's story about the origin of the name of the bar as merely a way to avoid having to pay the baseball player any royalties. Ironically, Curtiss successfully shut down a rival bar that was approved by, and named for, Ruth, on the grounds that the names were too similar in the case of George H. Ruth Candy Co. v. Curtiss Candy Co, 49 F.2d 1033 (1931). 1Wikipedia: The Free Encyclopedia, Baby Ruth, 2008 retrieved from http://www.wikipedia.com August 2008.

What is the value of Maury Wills signed baseball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A Maury Wills single signed baseball is worth about $35.-$45.

Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the signature. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. Add for inscriptions. Collectors will pay more for inscriptions such as "HOF" and pay less for personalized inscriptions like "Good Luck Chuck" In a recent auction a Maury Wills single signed baseball sold at a high of $42.00. For more prices on single signed baseball see Related Links below.

What is the value of a 1935 edition of Babe Ruth's Big Book of Baseball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

it depends on the condition, but from all accounts if you are hoping it's a million then take a breath because it isn't. Near mint issues of this are going for about $200, but average value are going for about $65 to $80 bucks. I have one myself and it is way to cool a book to part with for this amount of money. Good luck with it.

What is the value of a football autographed by Bart Starr and Ray Nitschke and the entire Packer team that played that season?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Footballs featuring the genuine autographs of the 60's-era Packers are highly sought by collectors. Presuming authenticity, values can range dramatically. Key factors are: the placement, size and clarity of the the star players' signatures (the bigger and bolder, the better), the type of ball (is it an "Official NFL" ball?), and the all-important overall condition of the ball and signatures. "Provenance" - the who, what, when and where of a signed ball's history, may also add value if documented. If genuine, your ball would be worth $500 to as much as $750, depending on all the aforementioned factors. An absolutely pristine official ball with Lombardi would be worth as much as as $1000. With autographs, a picture is truly worth the proverbial thousand words, and can save alotta time in the authentication, appraisal, and selling process.

Just an FYI, a couple weeks ago in a New York auction, a '62, '63, and '65 Packer team signed balls went over $2500 a piece. The '65 went highest at $2980. This ball will fetch much more considering it is the first year for the superbowl, in which Green Bay defeated Kansas City. Other than Lombardi, you have 9 other HOFer's on it. Once authenticated, this ball will be the needle in a haystack. Anything less than $10k would be crazy.

How much is a ticket stub worth from the 1974 game when Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's record?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The ticket stub from the game that Hank Aaron hit home run number 714 at Cincinnati on April 4, 1974 is worth about $145.

The ticket stub from the game that Hank Aaron hit home run number 715 in Atlanta on April 8, 1974 is worth about $300

Condition is important. Rips, crease, and fading could bring the price down significantly. With ticket stubs if the stub was not torn cleanly it will effect the price as well.

What is the value of a green Babe Ruth baseball card that reads All Time Greats 1914 - 1935 holding three bats?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This card you are describing sound like a card from the 1987 Hygrade All-Time Greats set. The set features 100 cards. The Babe Ruth card is number 38, and books for about $2.00 The complete set sells for about $10. -$20.

Other cards from the set include all time great such as Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Ted Williams, Jackie Robinson, Roberto clement and more.

As with all collectibles condition is important. The slightest flaws will bring the price down significantly.This set came in a "playing cards" sized box, and sold for about $5. when released during the baseball card boom of the late 1980s.
