1933 Goudey Babe Ruth #53

Any Goudey Ruth is a great card to own but from an eye appeal standpoint, the extreme centering top to bottom and the back damage downgrades this one a bit.

Nice color and image. The back damage would bother me a little, but the bottom portion of the card missing is the main issue for me. This would be a place holder until I could find one intact.

Actually pretty nice looking considering a piece of the card is missing!

For some reason, the shape/size of the card, or when they're centered right they're still sometimes thin, but off/centering doesn't bother me as much on these. The reverse is noted. The color, registration, and corners are delightful. I think it's beautiful and it's Babe Ruth and I'll take it. Enjoy it and then contact me!

toning, smaller borders, and off centering. Not the secret to success. The image stands tall and carries the day

Interesting card to review. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." What is here is on the pleasing B side, with some edge wear and registration shift. What's missing obviously makes impact.

Toning around the borders but image still presents well. Hard to judge the card knowing the bottom portion is cut off. Back doesn't bother me.
