What"s better than one Babe Ruth card in a set? How about an even four! In their inaugural "Big League Chewing Gum" series, the Goudey Gum Co. of Boston capitalized on "The Bambino"s" popularity by picturing the slugger several times. Graded EX 5 by PSA. This #149 batting pose of the behemoth has largely escaped significant handling. The surface is crease-free and the Hall of Fame rendering is crisp with bold surface colors. Additionally, the green text reverse confirming Ruth as the "Home run king of the big leagues" is problem-free.
