(LOT 46)
1926 W511 Babe Ruth Hand-Cut PSA 3 VG
RARE RUTH STRIP!!! One of the rare Babe Ruth strip cards is this 1926 W511 #1 black and white hand-cut PSA 3 VG scarcity that joins two others at this grade with only five graded higher! Ruth stands as the most collectible figures of the 1926 W511 strips cards that also feature boxers, Hollywood stars and starlets and historical figures. The Bambino is the only ballplayer included in the set. There have been 66 Babe Ruth variations graded by PSA and only 64 total of the more than 20 figures for the non-sports portion of the set. The Babe's fine batting pose more than offsets the minor OC and upper corner paper loss while not compromising the overall integrity of this rarity. Clear and clean with no obtrusive flaws infringing on the Ruth batting subject. It is not too often that this card surfaces for sale in this "high-grade", though many Authentic cards has emerged recently, making this one that deserves heavy traffic. This is an opportunity to capture one of the Bambino's most elusive cards!
