It’s a wonderful card. Considering how low the graded population is, it’s surprising that you can pick them up relatively inexpensively. The fact that Ruth isn’t identified by name definitely keeps the visibility low. The image used is the same as the 1929 Shonen Club postcard where Ruth is identified.

It actually does...you and I just can't read it. The translation is:

"The moment that Babe Ruth, hailed as the world home run king, swings his bat with all his might. It looks like the ball quickly flew over the fence for a home run, as the catcher and umpire look up and the Babe's face beams with pleasure. The fans packed in the stands watch awestruck."
