Graded FAIR 1.5 by SGC. Modestly graded example of one of Babe Ruth’s classic cards: #53, 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 extreme left. Scattered creasing factors into the assigned grade. An excellent opportunity to acquire one of Babe Ruth's 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. Opening Bid $10.
