By 1933, Ruth had become the most famous athlete in the world, his name synonymous with baseball itself. He stands out as the headliner for Sport Kings Gum and Goudey might have even created this set specifically to be sure they could get more Ruth cards into the hands of his fans.

This Sport Kings Gum card shows Ruth in a more candid pose against a pale green background, with a silhouetted baseball scene below. The PSA PR 1 (MK) grade reflects corner rounding, a neat hole punch, and red ink mark on the reverse. Despite the wear, Ruth’s image remains easily recognizable and his biography is clear and readable.

For collectors, this presents an affordable opportunity to add an authentic Ruth card from one of the decade's most significant gum issues. Lower-grade examples like this offer an approachable way to own a piece of the Babe’s enduring legacy, without the premium commanded by higher-grade copies.
