Not a fan. It looks sort of washed out.
Here is a scan I stole from the world wide web...

Personally it looks like a blurry color copy that was made of the card that was shown on Card Target...the registration and other details seem to be a match.

I would say no to grading. If you look close at the Card Target card and your card, not only is the registration suspiciously exactly the same, there are various marks that are duplicated on both cards as well.

And being a strip card junkster, the faded and blurred look just doesn't look right.

Brian: I think you're correct. It has many of the same marks, etc as the one from CardTarget.

Speaking of those Babe Ruth Strip Cards, why are there so many reverse-images like the one the OP has shared and why are sellers of such cards never mentioning that?

Certainly, EVERYONE knew and still knows Babe was a Lefty!

I guess strip cards were the bottom of the barrel when quality control was involved, which is how I have always viewed them.

It's my iPhone that's blurring the pictures. Here's a scan from my scanner.

I believe from what I've learned when I was searching the cards I found earlier this spring. The reverse image is a second series , even the copyright symbols are backwards. The ones I found were w516-1 they have the correct image. Also the boxing w521-1
These are in the pre war auction with the rest of the sports in this find at Birmingham auctioneers
