Every vintage collector wants one, and why not? Not only is a time-period Babe Ruth card a status symbol that gives instant credibility to its owner but the 1933 Goudey with the yellow background is among the most popular and recognizable cards in our hobby. The offered card is graded PSA Authentic Altered, opening the door to collectors that cannot finance many higher-grade specimens, yet presents in a very respectable fashion. The centering is nearly perfect, while the central image featuring "The Bambino" in the forefront of the yellow backdrop is clean and precise. This one has uniformly rounded corners and a small spot of paper loss between the "U" and "E" on the bottom border, while the back has paper loss along the top border. Bridging the gap between eye-appeal and affordability, this is a wonderful specimen for any collector aiming to add a Ruth to their stable of cards.
