(LOT 813)
1921 Schapira Bros. Babe Ruth "Waiting for a High One" Hand-Cut PSA Authentic – Same Image Used on Ruth's Iconic 1921 Exhibit Card

EARLY YANKEES BAMBINO!!! Arguably the most sought-after of all seven 1921 Schapira Bros. Babe Ruth subjects is the "Waiting for a High One" version, sporting the exact same image affixed to Ruth's iconic 1921 "Hands on Knees" Exhibit card. Presented here is a PSA Authentic example, one of only 19 PSA total encapsulated copies (of which 15 are graded Authentic). The critical Ruth image still emanates fine aesthetics, ably assisted by the striking red and blue background hues. No glaring surface flaws are evident, with the grade due to a manual cut that eliminated all four borders. Issued during the year that Ruth would break his own homer record by clouting 59 dingers, it conjures up captivating memories of how this giant of a man forever changed our national pastime with his unparalleled persona and majestic home runs!
