Collector-grade Babe Ruth from the 1933 Goudey issue graded VG 40 by SGC due to rounded corners and overall surface soiling. Affordable Ruth cards from his playing days are quite desirable as the demand and value of high-grade Ruths have pushed prices into the stratosphere leaving a high demand for the cards priced less astronomically. Examples such as this with a relatively clean and unblemished image have become more difficult to locate as collectors begin to put their Ruth cards away anticipating additional value appreciation.
