Description
1933 Blue Bird Babe Ruth (Follow Through-Front) PSA EX-MT 6. It took sixty years for this very rare premium to be discovered in any quantity and still remains one the rarest Ruth collectibles to date. The portrait of Ruth is familiar, it is the same classic batting pose found on the R309 Goudey Premiums (cropped slightly differently) but with a "Blue Bird" advertising reverse, the small group discovered in 1994 was for all intents and purposes this ads debut as previously only the Halper collection could claim to include one. The thin 3-7/8" x 5-7/8" card advertises Blue Bird soft drinks on the reverse and promotes a redemption offer to exchange bottle caps and some money for a Spaulding Babe Ruth professional glove or a baseball. Graded PSA EX-MT 6 and we are astonished this did not achieve a higher grade. A well placed Ruth wielding his weapon of choice with relatively sharp corners and a great image.View Certification and Population Details from PSA
