Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Only two examples grade higher out of 1,191 cards evaluated by PSA. Stunning example of one of Babe Ruth’s classic cards, #149 (red background) from the 1933 Goudey series. The offered card boasts a brilliant red background, outstanding registration, strong corners, and excellent centering. Bold green print on the off-white reverse. Goudey cards featuring Babe Ruth are among the most recognizable of all vintage cards in the hobby, and they are on almost every list of the greatest cards ever issued. Collectors appreciate how scarce superb high-grade examples really are, with cards in the extreme high grades, such as this, realizing exceptionally strong prices recently. There is good reason for it: Goudey Babe Ruth cards are never going out of style with collectors, and they are among the safest stores of value and most recognizable cards available to new collectors. This is a striking example of one of Babe Ruth's most important and highly prized baseball cards. Opening Bid $100,000.
