1933 Sport Kings #45 Babe Didrickson Track PSA 8.5 NM-MT+
BABE!!! This exceptional offering of Babe Didrickson graded PSA 8.5 NM-MT+ is equaled by only two other examples with a paltry four specimens graded higher! Widely considered one of the greatest female athletes of all-time, it comes as little surprise that the Goudey Company chose "Babe" Didrickson as one of the 48-subjects for their prestigious Sport Kings compilation who excelling in basketball, track & field, and golf. Her portrayal on this 1933 Sport Kings gem is absolutely spectacular, with her richly hued Olympic hurdling pose set against a brilliant orange/red background. The colors are robust and crystal clear, displaying Didrickson as if leaping right off the card in a 3D-like effect. Near-perfect centering, blistering sharp corners and flawless surfaces are the final superlatives justifying the superior assessment. Less than a handful of her Sport Kings cards have managed to best this miraculous keepsake that is nearly impossible to find at the lofty 8.5 NM-MT+ assessment!
