(LOT 469)
1933 Goudey #144 Babe Ruth PSA 2.5 GOOD+

WELL-CENTERED RUTH!!! Locating a virtually dead-centered 1933 Goudey #144 Babe Ruth subject is equivalent to finding a needle in a haystack, justifying why this seemingly under-graded PSA 2.5 GOOD+ Bambino offering merits serious attention from any esteemed collector. Indeed, the classic 1927 Charles Conlon Babe Ruth batting pose miraculously finds itself situated in a nearly perfect position between the somewhat toned borders. It's no secret that a majority of Goudey #144 Ruths reveal poorly skewed images, with this grand offering's outstanding aesthetics also including vibrant hues, relatively clean surfaces and even corner wear leading to an eye-pleasing uniformity. Majestic to say the least, you can literally feel Ruth's supernatural power as he completes his mighty swing in his classic Yankee pinstripes, most likely leading to another horsehide soaring towards the Yankee Stadium grandstands. Accounting for the assessment are some barely visible bubble wrinkles in the upper left quadrant and some diminutive soiling spots along the lower right border, yet most significantly, the breathtaking visual appeal is clearly consistent with most mid-grade examples, substantiating why this PSA 2.5 Goudey Ruth truly resides as one of the Babe's finest lower grade bubble gum cards!
