Prewar Baseball - 1930s and 1940s Cards

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. Graded POOR 1 by PSA largely due to rounded corners and heavy creasing. An excellent opportunity to acquire one of 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 $1,000.
