1933 Goudey #53 Babe Ruth SGC 2 GOOD
CLASSIC YELLOW RUTH GOUDEY!!! The most valuable and desirable of the four 1933 Goudey Ruths is the #53 yellow background subject that proudly boasts a half-bust batting image of the mighty Bambino, with this pose originally struck by none other than the legendary photographer Charles M. Conlon. All Goudey pricing points continue to soar, led by the #53 subject, presented here in a splendid SGC 2 GOOD holder. While the offered issue presents a familiar skewed image favoring the upper left corner, this unencumbered image remains vibrant, bold and truly eye-catching as Ruth completes his home run swing. With even corner wear, some negligible surface abrasions beneath Ruth's image along the "Big League" banner are evident and minute border soiling likely account for the grade. As the back will attest, Babe Ruth "last year hit .341 and hit 41 home runs." Just another year at the office!
