Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Hall of Famer. This is one of just two examples at its tier (with none graded higher) among a total of fewer than 200 copies recorded in PSA’s census reporting. An amazing little survivor, this anonymously issued “W” card features the likeness of his era’s most prominent baseball star. The blank-backed item, printed on the genre’s typically coarse and sensitive cardboard stock, nonetheless projects superlative presentation attributes. The piece was clearly separated with care from its adjacent “strip” contemporaries, and it has certainly benefited from responsible stewardship, ever since. A fascinating and rare, high-grade Ruth memento, in phenomenal Mint condition.
