Graded FAIR 20 by SGC. Modestly graded 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. This example has bright colors, a crisp image, moderate corner wear, and centering toward the bottom right. The reverse displays multiple spots of paper loss. An excellent opportunity to acquire one of Babe Ruth's most classic cards from the popular 1933 Goudey Gum series and one of card collecting's iconic cards at a fraction of the cost of a higher-graded example. Reserve $10.
