Graded 40 VG 3 by SGC. Hall of Famer. The offered card captures the Bambino in the follow-through of one of his legendary swings. Number 144 is adored in the hobby as the "action pose" in the '33 Goudey set's quartet of prized Ruth pieces. Sublime yellow, green and red hues dominate the design of this universally admired baseball card. The item's nicely balanced borders outline a presentation that remains strong, with clean peripheral wear most visible at the lower aspects. The card's reverse (fundamentally unimpaired by a faint, amber-colored stain shadow and a bottom-edge surface wrinkle) delivers enviable print clarity that contributes favorably to this colorful treasure's satisfying eye appeal. This is the classic Babe Ruth baseball card, a relic that's recognized and appreciated even by those who are unfamiliar with the organized collecting hobby. Very Good 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.
