Very Fine

American Lobby Card 11" x 14"


In this fictional biography of Babe Ruth, the slugger plays the lead in a familiar rags-to-riches story, culminating with his character hitting the big home run and saving the day. Most critics agree that the greatest appeal of the production is being able to see the great Babe Ruth in his younger days, with some actual original footage of him in action at the old Polo Grounds. This rare original theatre lobby card, which measures 11" x 14" is one of only three from the set of eight, that depicts the great 'Bambino' on the field in his uniform, demonstrating his batting technique to a throng of admiring children. The lobby card rates at least Very Fine to the discriminating eye and most dealers would call it Near Mint. It is presently framed and matted, but could be shipped unframed if preferred.
