Graded EX 60 by SGC. Superb mid-grade example of one of Babe Ruth's most classic cards: #53 with yellow background from the 1933 Goudey series. The "yellow background" pose of Babe Ruth is, without a doubt, his most difficult to obtain and sought-after card in the 1933 Goudey set. For some reason, this card is also a condition rarity compared with other Ruth cards in the set. This example is bright and crisp, with perfect registration, bold colors, even wear at the corners, and outstanding centering. The reverse is boldly printed. This is a magnificent example of one of Babe Ruth's most classic cards from the popular 1933 Goudey Gum series. Reserve $10. Estimate (open).
