(LOT 150)
1929 R315 Babe Ruth (PSA EX/MT 6)
Ruth's irrefutable stature as baseball's greatest all-time player is "set in stone", and it is an inconceivable thought that this swashbuckling ballplayer would have been a Hall of Fame pitcher had he not been moved from the pitching rubber to an everyday outfielder in lieu of his incredible batting prowess. His iconic stature stands "above the game itself", and his world-renowned stature is a thunderous testament to his supreme diamond superlatives. One of the "Bambino's" most desirable late 1920's cardboard heirlooms is the eclectic 1929 R315 subject, presented here in an outstanding PSA EX/MT 6 holder. One of a meager 3 examples at this plateau, only a mere 7 PSA examples have been graded higher. Seldom surfacing in high grade, it was six years ago that a PSA 6 R315 Ruth sold for the staggering sum of $13,035 in a public auction!

The most recent high-grade sale reflects a PSA 7.5 fetching $11,400 in August 2020, solidifying the notion that R315 Ruth's carrying strong technical assessments merit serious attention from advanced enthusiasts. Ruth's immortal black & white batting swing image provides the finest possible contrast and crystal-clear clarity, only slightly favoring the right edge. Beneath his hallowed swinging pose is the caption "BABE RUTH – YANKEES" as well as "FIELDER, YANKEES A.L." along the lower border. Bright white borders, an extremely sharp perimeter, strong right-angled corners and a clean blank verso complete this 92-year old time defying marvel that anxiously awaits a new found home in any esteemed Ruthian gathering!
