Lot # 731: 1929 R316 Kashin Publications Babe Ruth SGC VG 3

Graded VG 3 by SGC. Extremely attractive mid-grade large-format card (3.5 x 4.5 inches) featuring New York Yankees Hall of Famer Babe Ruth in a classic batting pose. Ruth, of course, is the key card to the distinctively designed 101-card R316 set. Bright and clean, both front and back, with light corner wear, and outstanding picture quality. The blank reverse has evidence of erased writing. Few cards of Ruth date from the 1920s. Issued during the short window of time between the strip cards of the early 1920s and the colorful bubble-gum cards of the early 1930s, this card has always been appreciated for its powerful image of Ruth.
