The legendary Babe Ruth was the sole baseball player to appear in this 40-subject set from the Japanese magazine Shonen Club, confirming how his unique appeal spanned continents and languages in fandom and collectibles. Its SGC PR 1 grade reflects edge wear, toning, and a spot of paper loss. The reverse adds to its desirability, as it remains unused and clean, with all text well-printed and legible.

While this image sources from earlier in the 1920s and examples have been graded as "1928 Shonen Kulubu," an approximation for the Japanese transliteration of "Shonen Club," it was printed with their August 1929 issue. About 100 appear on the collected population reports, making this a scarce issue by Ruthian standards.
