Description

1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #53 SGC Authentic. Among the company's prized quartet of Babe Ruth entries, card #53 or the "Yellow Background" effectively conveys the Bambino's joy in the game to the greatest extent. Holding and swinging the bat - while allowing just the beginnings of a smile - marvelously summarize his life's work, and the portrayal quietly affirms the satisfaction he found in all of its elements. Offered is a 100% authentic example of card #53 that has been encapsulated SGC Authentic. The assessment is for the adhesive that was used to strengthen segments of the crease. The crease/tear is considerable and it is possible the card was close to existing in two pieces but there are portions that tell us this was probably never happened. That aside, the card has obvious creases, corner and surface wear and would grade Poor to Fair. With NM+ example selling for over $20,000 (Heritage, May 2012) this is a great opportunity to add a genuine Babe Ruth card to your collection for a fraction of that price.
