(LOT 564)
1933 Goudey #53 Babe Ruth PSA 3 VG
The sudden rise of the pricing points for 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth subjects comes as little surprise since these highly coveted "Sultan of Swat" keepsakes were undervalued for the longest time. Paving the way for this pricing surge is the augmented values realized for the most desirable of all four Goudey Ruth's, the esteemed #53 Yellow Goudey issue that stands tall among advanced collector's want lists. Presented here is an aesthetically pleasing PSA 3 VG example that portrays an outstanding Bambino batting illustration originally taken by none other than the immortal Charles Conlon. While the image favors the lower edge and reveals some mild soiling/toning in the upper left quadrant, its superb central image, modest corner wear exhibiting an eye pleasing uniformity, and lack of any obtrusive surface blemishes more than offset the negligible flaws. In 2021, sales for VG specimens typically ranged between $18K and $30K, with one particular PSA 3 achieving a staggering $38K price tag, more than substantiating this offering's superior stature!
MIN BID $4,000
