A blank-backed set of strip cards depicting film stars as well as scenes from popular movies. Since the film "Babe Comes Home" was included in this set there is significant demand for this issue from baseball card collectors. This is an example of one of the two cards from the film depicting Babe Ruth in the midst of a large crowd of people. The technical grade of this card is irrelevant since the cards were likely issued as strip cards and may or may not have had borders along which youngsters could cut. As such card sizes vary with many clearly hand-cut. This example appears strong the blue tint slightly washed out (the cards were issued in different hues including red blue green brown and purple) with corner and edge wear consistent with the grade. An interesting card of the hobby's biggest name Babe Ruth.
