I recently purchased a 33 goudey babe ruth #181 psa 1 and I noticed on the back of the card a stain that looks like a gum stain. Is this common on these cards?

Many cards have them, I wouldn't say most because cards were generally sold more than
1 per pack. I'm not an expert on 1933 Goudeys, but I would think they did not just come in 1 cent packs.
With all that said, we are talking about a PSA 1 here. Even so, the seller if he/she is not willing to post
a 2nd pic they should have at least mentioned it in the description. Certain issues have more than others
notably those issues that were sold for 1 cent and gave you 1 card. Those all would have some sort of stain.
Before buying a card, make sure you (in the future) ask either for a scan of the back or a description.
Enjoy your card, it is a Ruth!

It's very possible, more so than probably any other grade.
I'm glad you like it, I wouldn't be so concerned about the reverse.
If you can scan it and post it here.

That's what its all about! Congrats on owning a Babe Ruth card. I'd venture to say, he's a player on every baseball card collector's wish list.
