FS: Beautiful Raw 1933 Goudey Babe Ruth # 181 - SOLD

[btcarfagno]

This card is on consignment with me from the gentleman with the large T206 collection that I just finished off selling to another board member.

Eye appeal on this card is obviously off the charts.

The one problem area is just above Babe's right shoulder where it seems as if a sticker had once been placed and then removed, causing a small area that has a very slight amount of color minimization as well as a very small area where the fingernail indented the card ever so slightly to remove the sticker. These are barely noticeable until you take a closer look. I am sure that this would affect the technical grade, but the eye appeal of this card would have it sell for far more than whatever technical grade it might receive.

The card has been in the collection of my consignor since the late 1970's. He was a flea market dealer and collected all of these cards at that time. There are therefore no worries of trimming or any other nefarious actions regarding this card. The only way that it was ever "altered" was when the sticker that had been placed on it was removed.

I have included front and back scans as well as a closer up scan of the "problem area"...which is so light it is somewhat hard to see even in the closeup.
