1921 E121 Babe Ruth (Series of 80) PSA Best!
American Caramel 1921
Card #
PSA NM 7


This is the Highest Graded example of this extremely rare Babe Ruth card!....and, that includes all of the "Grading" companies! This is one of the premier cards featuring the great Bambino and also one of very few issues from the early 1920's. As suggested by its extraordinarily high grade (which is all the more extraordinary for a caramel card), this card is a gem! Perfectly clean, front and back! It has four square corners and the clean, white borders frame a virtually flawless, bold image which is centered just slightly to the left, approximately 60/40. All four corners appear Mint at first glance; Only close inspection with a high-powered lens reveals just a hint of wear at the extreme tips of the corners. The black text on the back is crisp, bold and essentially flawless. It is interesting to note, that the young, but already celebrated Ruth is pictured on this card in a Boston uniform, though he is appropriately identified below as a member of the New York Americans. In fact, this is the very same image used on Ruth's 1917 E135 Collins-McCarthy candy card. Apparently the American Caramel Company was going to print and did not have time to pursue an updated picture of Ruth with his new team. This is an exceptional and extremely high grade example of this classic Babe Ruth card, worthy of the finest collection.
