1933 Goudey #144 Babe Ruth PSA 2 GOOD
WELL-CENTERED RUTH!!! Eye appeal…eye appeal! Locating a virtually dead-centered 1933 Goudey #144 Babe Ruth subject is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack, justifying why this brilliant PSA 2 Good Bambino offering merits the highest hobby accolades. Indeed, the classic 1927 Charles Conlon Babe Ruth batting pose miraculously finds itself situated in a nearly perfect position between the somewhat toned borders. It's no secret that a majority of Goudey #144 Ruths reveal poorly skewed images, with this grand offering's outstanding aesthetics also including vibrant hues and relatively clean surfaces. Majestic to say the least, you can literally feel Ruth's supernatural power as he completes his mighty swing in his classic Yankee pinstripes, most likely leading to another horsehide soaring towards the Yankee Stadium grandstands. Effectively eluding any glaring creases, accounting for the assessment is even corner wear as well as some areas of spoiling along the upper border and the verso's upper edge. Most significantly, the spectacular central image's visual appeal and near-perfect centering are clearly consistent with many mid-grade examples, placing this grand offering as one of the Sultan of Swat's premier lower grade '33 Goudey cardboard treasures!
