Description

1920 Tex Rickard Babe Ruth Headin' Home - Batting Close-Up PSA Good 2 We'll have to see if it's a card collector or a memorabilia collector who chases this lot to the end, as it holds strong appeal for both. Scholars of 1920's Golden Age of Sport are certainly familiar with the man who printed these cards -- Rickard was the "Don King" of his day, and more. This fantastically rare "card" was a promotional give-away announcing the arrival of the famous film starring new Yankees star Babe Ruth at Madison Square Garden. An image of a youthful Bambino dominates the front, with details of the event printed on verso. The business card-sized rarity has some condition issues, namely well-rounded corners, poor centering and scattered staining, but it may well be one of the only such cards in existence -- it is definitely the only one ever graded by PSA. Bid now, or forever hold your peace.
