Awesome VG PSA 3 #151 Babe Ruth Rookie card from the 1916 Famous & Barr Clothiers St. Louis area regional issue. Sharp clear black and white photo of the young Boston Red Sox hurler who would one day be the most famous home run hitter in baseball history. Corners look to be about EX condition overall. Clean card both front and back. A shade off 50/50 centering top to bottom and about 80/20 side to side. One 1 1/4" horizontal crease starting at the upper left edge just above Ruth's cap. The only VG 3 with just one card graded higher by PSA. Only 4 cards total graded by PSA. A true rarity!
