"Swing for the fences" with this gorgeous 1933 Goudey #144 Babe Ruth. Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA, the offered version is the only one of the four Ruth cards in the Goudey issue to depict “The Bambino” in a full-body action pose. Well-constructed corners and edges, a piercing registration and vivid ballpark lithography are all attributes of this early gum classic. The biographical reverse is bright with pronounced, green type. Errant centering prevents an even higher assessment. Of the 841 similar Ruth copies confirmed to exist by PSA, this Ruth has 68 peers at the grading level with only 78 (9%) better. Catapult to the top of the registry with this "larger than life" hero.
