Babe Ruth Auction to Benefit Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/6/2016
This is an uncut panel containing nine different Hall of Fame entries from Kellogg's "All-Time Baseball Greats" trading card production. These 1972-issued 3-D's were inserted, one per package, in the company's cereal boxes. The set consisted of fifteen 2-1/4" x 3-1/2" 3-D "lenticular" cards picturing baseball's greatest players. The players represented on this panel – highlighted by the release's "key" subjects – include: #'s 7 Lefty Grove, 8 Pie Traynor, 9 Honus Wagner, 10 Eddie Collins, 11 Tris Speaker, 12 Cy Young, 13 Lou Gehrig, 14 Babe Ruth and 15 Ty Cobb. The piece has slightly irregular border cuts, but appears essentially uncirculated. This is an attention-grabbing display piece that features plenty of star power. Very rare in this uncut form! Goldin Auctions will be donating 5% of the winning bid price of this lot and all lots in this auction to the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum.
