1920 Tex Rickard Babe Ruth Headin' Home -- Batting Full Length PSA Good 2 Another coup for Tex Rickard, the famed 1920's sporting promoter who built Madison Square and Boston Gardens, organized the first million-dollar prize fights (including the famed Dempsey -- Tunney "Long Count" match), and founded the New York Rangers NHL squad (which he christened "Tex's Rangers" at the time). 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. Fitting for the grade, the business card-sized rarity has some condition issues, namely well-rounded corners, skewed centering and a stain that permeates the upper right corner. although the numeric grade isn't quite as important considering that this is one of very few in existence and is the only one to have ever been graded by PSA. The conjunction of the greatest athlete and greatest promoter of the Roaring '20's makes this one a blue ribbon winner in any state.
