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 and a well-focused image. Flaws include moderate corner wear, scattered creasing, and a black mark the reverse. This is a very pleasing example of one of Babe Ruth's classic cards from the popular 1933 Goudey Gum series
