The Sport King is one of Babe Ruth's most popular and desirable cards. Far more rare than Ruth's 1933 Goudey counterparts especially in high grade it features a majestic image of Ruth looming above the silhouette of boys playing ball. The imagery is somewhat metaphoric reflecting Ruth larger than-life persona that captivated and inspired the baseball loving youth of America. This exceptionally high-grade example of this classic Babe Ruth card boasts a pack-fresh appearance with four incredibly sharp corners and perfectly clean surfaces on front and back. The printing on both sides is flawless. Upon close inspection this magnificent gem proves worthy of its lofty NM-MT+ 8.5 grade assigned by GAI.
