Description

Offered is an example of New York Yankees Hall of Famer Babe Ruth (unnumbered) from the W519 strip-card series. This classic 1920-era strip card issue consists of 10 cards, and Ruth is unquestionably the key card. Originally issued in strips, these cards (and almost all strip-cards) are often found with irregular borders as they were cut by hand from the strips, as intended. Only ideally cut examples (which are few and far between) are awarded numerical grades by PSA (and SGC ). The offered example has a bright blue background and a crisp image of Ruth. Flaws include honest corner wear, creasing, and soiling on the back. Encapsulated as "Authentic" by PSA. This is a very pleasing example of one of Babe Ruth's classic 1920s strip cards.
