Graded FAIR 1.5 by SGC. Modestly graded example of one of Babe Ruth's classic cards: #149, red background, from the 1933 Goudey series. This example has vibrant colors, outstanding registration, moderate corner wear, and centering slightly toward the bottom left. Spots of paper loss along the front (on Ruth's wrist and below his bat) and a few wrinkles along the reverse factor into the assigned grade. This is a very pleasing low-grade example of one of Babe Ruth's classic cards from the popular 1933 Goudey Gum series. Opening Bid $10.
