Postwar Baseball - 1950s Cards

Graded EX 5 by PSA. Presented is a very attractive mid-grade example of this Babe Ruth classic. The 1948-1949 Leaf Bubble Gum card of Ruth is one of the most popular and striking of all Babe Ruth cards. It is on virtually every concise list of the most classic and recognizable of all postwar baseball cards. The offered card is crisp and clean, with bold colors, light wear on the corners, and a virtually flawless image that is centered just slightly toward the bottom left. The reverse is clean and boldly printed. This is an outstanding example of one of the icons of postwar-card collecting. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+.
