Babe Ruth Auction To Benefit Babe Ruth Foundation Closing February 18
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 2/18/2017
Encapsulated and assessed "Authentic" by SGC, the only example of this collectible recorded in SGC's census reporting. Six different ballplayers – including five Hall of Famers – decorate the front of this very scarce, blank-backed novelty piece. The colorful survivor was distributed only as a component of a Universal Toy package that included various small playthings. Natural handling faults and chipping are primarily confined to the item's corners and edges, and the single cards in the panel's design exhibit fresh, lightly circulated quality. This is a very intriguing, early career Babe Ruth depiction, and it's one that's extremely tough to find in this highly desirable, uncut and intact 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.
