Sought-after collectible of Babe Ruth here is accompanied by an SGC label that includes “1948-49”, while “Copyright 1949” appears on the problem-free back of the card, with its number matching the Babe’s uniform number – cool. The Leaf Gum issue honored the recently deceased baseball giant and details several of his accomplishments, including his home run hitting exploits and his record 14-inning World Series pitching effort for the Red Sox in 1916. Oh, there’s also a mention of his record baseball salary of $80,000 in 1930 and ’31. Corner/edge wear and a side-to-side crease that faintly makes its way through the immortal’s forehead contributed to SGC’s 20 FAIR 1.5 assessment. Noticeable scratches to the front of the holder are also to note.
