(LOT 54)
1928 Fro-Joy #3 Babe Ruth "The Babe Lines One Out!" PSA 5 EX – POP 5; Only 4 PSA Examples Graded Higher!
BABE SWINGING POSE!!! This super-eye-pleasing PSA 5 EX 1928 Fro-Joy #3 "The Babe Lines One Out!" offering is one of only five examples at this desirable mid-grade plateau, with a mere four specimens graded higher! Fascinating to say the least, the caption situated by Ruth's classic swinging pose indicates the Bambino has just belted his first homer of the 1927 Fall Classic in Game 3. This particular game was played at Yankee Stadium, and the end of the caption appropriately reads: wham! - the stands rocked and the Pittsburgh team wept. The well-centered image reveals fine contrast and clarity, with even corner wear, toning and a modest soiling spot on the verso accounting for the grade. Any 1920s Ruth card linked to the '27 World Series is a keeper, with this elusive memento one of Ruth's most obscure 1920s issues!
