Babe Ruth Auction to Benefit Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/6/2016
Graded NM 7 by PSA. Hall of Famer. Among a total of more than a hundred copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just three examples have achieved a higher tier. Once a component of a fragile, 25-card sheet on which space was shared with such period-contemporary luminaries as Rogers Hornsby, Bill Tilden and Lon Chaney, this elusive Ruth memento has been carefully extracted to shine on its own. Its straightforward line-drawing motif captures the essence of the slugger's personality, and he would be immediately recognizable even without the printed caption. An enchanting Ruth collectible, seen here in a virtually uncirculated state of preservation. Near Mint condition. Goldin Auctions will be donating 5% of the winning bid price of this lot and all lots in this auction to the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum.
