Goudey Sport King Babe Ruth
That’s a great card that I believe is seriously undervalued in higher grades.
Just my 2 cents. I no I don’t own one and am not selling one. I with I had a really nice one. |
Love that card. I really want to start that set, but I want to get the Ruth out of the way first.

Yes it’s a nice Ruth.

I agree that it's both a great card and undervalued, even in the mid to lower grades. It also has an excellent little bio on Ruth on the verso, maybe one of the best extant. ;) :D
I wonder if more collectors would find the card more desirable if the Babe was wearing his Yankees cap in the image. This may play a factor, but I think his expression, the lime green background, and the classic Sport Kings design make up for that. |
I wonder if multi sport and where it’s catalog has an impact. There is a value correlation among other multi sport issues. Rarity condition and appearance being equal.

Thread needs a picture. I don't collect from that era so had no idea what it even looked like.

I'm sure others probably already knew, but I just realized It looks like image came from when he met President Harding in 1923. (not my photo)
