33 Goudey Ruth

Apparently been through the laundry in a jeans pocket, left out in the sun and the rain for a week, had the corners snipped, rats nibbled at it ... What hasn't happened to this Babe? Would it even grade PSA 1?

    the card has some damage corners, surface and edges all have some defects

    <<< Here is your chance to own a classic card of Babe Ruth. 1933 Goudey gum big league #181 card of Babe Ruth. This card is real and is not a fake, has been in my family for years. the card has some damage corners, surface and edges all have some defects but that is the case with most cards 70 plus years old. >>>

    Maybe someone should inform this guy that a "real" card should have green printing on the back, not black printing.

    You have to love "corner wear" that just happens to look like the corners were rounded with a pair of scissors.

    I didn't even notice the black type. So "this card is real and is not a fake, has been in my family for years" but now he has doubts and will take it to a local dealer? Yeah, that will settle it ... authentication from the teenager behind the counter at Smilin' Steve's Foil Packs & Yu-Gi-Oh down at the corner.

    Funny how reprints are worth much more after you trash 'em than if they're mint, but it's the other way round with real vintage cards. This is a strange hobby.
