Interesting stamp once thought to be Babe Ruth (and still referred to as such) but more likely picturing Giants Hall of Famer Rube Marquard. The discovery of the Marquard photo from which the illustration was made is a relatively recent one and PSA no longer considers the image to be that of Ruth. Regardless it is one of just eight examples graded by PSA (who now labels the card as Marquard) with just two at this level and one higher.
