Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. Magnificent example of one of Babe Ruth’s most classic cards: #53 with yellow background from the 1933 R319 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 is a particularly attractive example, with a bright yellow background, outstanding registration, snow-white borders, and strong corners showing just a hint of even wear. The back is clean with bold green text. This is a stunning example of one of Babe Ruth's most classic cards from the popular 1933 Goudey Gum series which would be a very significant addition to any 1933 Goudey set Babe Ruth card collection. Opening Bid $10,000.
