Lot # 721: 1927 E126 American Caramel "Series of 60" #38 Babe Ruth PSA GOOD 2

Graded GOOD 2 by PSA (submitted by REA). Extremely rare caramel card of New York Yankees Hall of Famer Babe Ruth from the 1927 E126 American Caramel set. This set is of special note as it was produced in 1927, the final year that the American Caramel Company issued cards. Significantly fewer examples from the E126 set are offered compared to the earlier sets produced by American Caramel. This extremely rare card of Babe Ruth is naturally the key to the set and features a striking montage of two Ruth images, with a posed photo of Ruth holding a bat superimposed in front of a larger portrait of the Babe. The offered example displays a crisp image of Ruth. Boldly printed promotional offer and advertisement on the reverse. Light creasing and honest corner wear are largely responsible for the assigned grade. This is an outstanding example of this rare and extremely high quality Ruth caramel-card dating from the magical year of 1927.
