Graded 40 VG 3 by SGC. Hall of Famer. This is one of five examples at its tier (with none graded higher) among a total of eighteen copies recorded in SGC's census reporting. This hugely desirable "dual-photo" collectible of Babe Ruth shows the intensity in the slugger's face as well as the confidence in his stance. A much sought-after, classic entry in American Caramel's "Series of 120," the item delivers uniquely evocative visual power. Spots of corner wear can be discerned at this generally clean example's outermost aspects, and a small area of toning can be seen on the boldly printed back, but these elements of technicality do not impinge upon the presentation of the piece's delightful illustration. An indisputable period highlight, in Very Good condition.
