1926 W511 #1 Babe Ruth Blue Duotone Hand Cut PSA Authentic – None Graded Higher!
RARE RUTH STRIP!!! One of the rarest of all the Babe Ruth strip cards is this 1926 W511 #1 Blue Duotone hand-cut PSA Authentic scarcity that joins five other PSA Authentic examples as the only PSA encapsulated copies! Much scarcer than the black and white version, for which PSA has graded 21 specimens, it's a near-impossible task to obtain the blue-hued issue.

Other than some Exhibits, a handful of "W" strip card issues, and a Spalding Champions subject, there are no other mainstream 1926 Ruth cards to choose from. The Babe's fine batting pose more than offsets the irregular edge cut that is consistent with the Authentic assessment, and a few horizontal soiling defects do not compromise the overall integrity of this bona fide rarity. This is truly a grand opportunity to capture one of the Bambino's most elusive cards for your esteemed Ruth collection!
