1933 Blue Bird Babe Ruth Side View SGC 2 GOOD
RARE BIRD!!! Memory Lane proudly offers this truly rare bird. This 1933 Babe Ruth Blue Bird Side View is graded by SGC and happens to be one of only two graded examples of this card, each holdered 2 GOOD by SGC. As the Bambino completes his mighty swing clad in his Yankees pinstripes, we can only imagine how far the ball went as eager fans battled to win the diamond gem from the one and ONLY. Boasting a tagline that Blue Bird is "More Delicious than Grape Juice", fans were able to trade in 29 bottle caps (and a small shipping fee) for a genuine horsehide baseball mitt or an Official Spalding League Ball.
According to sources, the last time a 1933 Blue Bird Babe Ruth Side View SGC example was offered was nearly a decade ago, so this is your opportunity to upgrade your Babe Ruth collection. Considering that SGC has only graded a dozen of the Front View issues (PSA has graded 30), and only two encapsulated Side Views exist, here is your chance to own this amazingly rare piece. And if you already possess a Front View variation, this will complete your 2-card Babe Ruth set. The rarity alone should drive this to astronomical heights, but with the Sultan of Swat as the subject, Babe Ruth enthusiasts will line up for a chance to land this bird. The time to catch this bird is now!
