One of the most scarce and coveted cards from the 1933 Goudey issue comes this #149 Babe Ruth in an SGC EX 5. The red background version is regarded as the toughest one to find for collectors and this example has some amazing eye appeal. The centering is much better than others that hold the same grade and the color along with the Bambino's image are crystal clear. Corners are pretty decent for the grade and actually display pretty sharp. The back has some bleed coming through from the extraordinary red color presented on the front and is pretty common for these examples. A great investment piece or addition for any hardcore pre-war collector.
