5. 1927 E126 American Caramel #38 Babe Ruth (HOF) – PSA GOOD+ 2.5
Scarce and seldom-seen caramel issue featuring a close-cropped version of the “photo montage” image of Babe Ruth popularized on his E121 American Cara- mel card from five years earlier. This example is from a much more condition-sensitive and tough-to-find set, the E126 cards printed on extremely thin stock with a light gloss surface. This well-centered example pres- ents extremely well, some light wrinkling along the bottom border and pronounced corner rounding be- ing the primary condition issues. The reverse is clean, as the card has been stored in nine-pocket pages for decade along with the rest of the set, much of which is featured elsewhere in this auction. Freshly-graded by PSA, submitted by us for its first-ever encapsulation. An extraordinary card of the hobby icon, from a less frequently-seen issue, just the 24th example assessed by PSA. MINIMUM BID: $2,500
