Unusual and scarce is the 1924 Willard Chocolate set, the 56-card Canadian effort featuring athletes from numerous sports and printed on thin cardboard stock with blank backs. Just three baseball subjects appear; Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and Eddie Collins. Hailing Babe as “Home Run Champion”, card #5 here captures the Yankee icon following through after smashing one of his legendary home runs. Ruth had hit 41 in 1923 and then followed through with 46 the year this card was first discovered to again be crowned home run champion. A recent submission to PSA, this apparent crease-free example received a mark of VG 3 and is one of just 34 such cards ever to be submitted to the company. It offers a swell opportunity to add to your Babe Ruth/“champion” collection.
