Lot # 627: 1922 E121 American Caramel (Series of 120) "Babe" Ruth Photo Montage SGC VG 3

Graded VG 3 by SGC. Presented is an extremely attractive E121 American Caramel card of Babe Ruth. One of several different cards of Ruth in the E121 set, this is one of the all-time great Babe Ruth cards of the 1920s (or any era)! Referred to on checklists as the Babe Ruth "Photo Montage" variation, this classic card features three images of Ruth: a full-length image of Ruth posing with his bat set against a larger portrait of Babe, and a distant game-in-action photo in which Ruth is no doubt hitting a colossal home run. The card designers pulled out all the stops for this card! This is a beautiful card: Crisp and clean, with honest wear to the four corners and outstanding centering. A crease across the upper right corner is responsible for the assigned grade. The reverse is boldly printed and clean, with even, natural toning. This is a tremendous and very attractive example of this classic Babe Ruth card, which would be a worthy addition to any high-quality Babe Ruth or prewar-card collection.
