1933 Sport Kings Gum Babe Ruth Graded Card #2 – SGC GD 2

On two occasions in 1933, the  Goudey Gum Company honored Babe Ruth. In the company’s regular series, there were four cards. The more scarce example originated in “Sport Kings”. There the Bambino was placed among superstars in all other sports. The #2 card in the series which featured the Babe is what all other athlete cards were measured up against.

Presented is a supreme example of that Babe Ruth from the famous one-year-only, one- and-done set edition. The portrait art on the front was well done in the central portion with a red banner above declaring the set name, “SPORT KINGS GUM”. His name is showcased on the bottom on a black banner with his name, “BABE RUTH”.

The card was encapsulated and graded by SGC GD 2. Overall, a tremendous example of an early Babe Ruth card from his playing days.
