You had me at "early 1920's card of Babe Ruth in a New York uniform in PSA encapsulation."
However, when further research showed there are only (13) graded higher than this PSA Good 2 in the current PSA population report, interest continued to grow.
These 1922 E121 American Caramel's rarely come on the market in any consition, so we are quite proud to present this rare example of "The Bambino." This is one of the favorite Babe Ruth cards of the 1920's. Referred to on checklists as the Babe Ruth "Photo Montage" variation, the classic card features three images of Ruth, a full-length image of Ruth posing with his bat set against a larger portrait of Babe, plus a distant in-action photo in of Ruth at the plate.
