Graded G-VG 2.5 by BVG. Very appealing example of one of Babe Ruth’s most classic cards: #53 with 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 displays vibrant colors, honest corner wear, and small spot of surface wear in the yellow background. Boldly printed green text on the reverse. An excellent opportunity to acquire one of Babe Ruth's most 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.
