Splendid chance to score an original Babe Ruth card from early in his tenure with the New York Yankees with this W514 blank-backed card that was cut from a strip. Ruth's last season with the Red Sox was 1919 and those red long sleeves would suggest a Boston image, although "Home Run King - New York Yankees A.L." is beneath the colorized image. The W514 strip set is the largest strip set issued during the era, consisting of 120 cards. Card #2 here has been slabbed and graded VG 3 by PSA. The Babe smacked 29 homers in his last campaign with Boston and then walloped 54 and 59 in his first two years in the Bronx.
