1933 Goudey #53 Babe Ruth PSA 2 GOOD
CLASSIC RUTH GOUDEY!!! The most valuable and desirable of the four 1933 Goudey Ruths is the #53 yellow background subject that proudly boasts a half-bust batting image of the mighty Bambino, with this pose originally struck by none other than the legendary photographer Chales M. Conlon. All Goudey pricing points continue to soar towards stratospheric heights, led by the #53 subject, presented here in a splendid PSA 2 GOOD holder. Atypical for any Goudey Ruth is the near-perfect centering, with most of the Babe's sanctified 1933 bubble gum cards revealing skewed images. While even corner wear, some negligible stray wrinkles well-hidden across Ruth's classic Yankee pinstripes, and scattered toning/soiling account for the grade, it's truly the momentous well-centered batting illustration that steals the show, as the iconic Sultan of Swat completes his majestic swing that ultimately led to a whopping 714 lifetime dingers!
