Description
1948 Leaf Babe Ruth #3 PSA Authentic. The incomparable Babe Ruth attracted fans from all walks of life and from many different countries. A global ambassador for the game of baseball, he helped expand its popularity to distant shores with his crowd-pleasing barnstorming tours overseas, where he was accompanied by New York Yankees teammate Lou Gehrig. A lifetime .342 hitter, the "Bambino" was best known for launching longballs (714 round-trippers) although his jovial gamesmanship was also a favorite trait for fans everywhere. Ruth was easily elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame as part of its inaugural class of 1936. Offered is a 1948 Leaf card that honors the home run specialist 13 years after he retired. It was, in fact, released in the same year that he passed away from throat cancer. Card #3 from the '48 Leaf series provides an appropriate portrait pic of Ruth, almost as if he were saying good-bye to the world. This Authentic specimen of the card would make any Ruth or Yankees collector very happy. Encapsulated PSA Authentic (Altered).View Certification and Population Details from PSA
