Graded EX 5 by PSA. Tremendous example of one of Babe Ruth's 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 the most sought-after card in the 1933 Goudey set. 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, and square corners showing just light touches of wear. The back is clean with bold green text. This is a stunning mid-grade 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 or Babe Ruth card collection. Awarded an MBA Gold Diamond by Mike Baker Authenticated for high-end eye appeal. A corresponding MBA sticker is affixed to the front of the holder.
