Graded by PSA VG-EX 4. Offered is another rare, fresh to the market Babe Ruth card, held in a private collection for many years. The 1930 Bauger's Chocolate cards are a very rare issue, produced and distributed in Cuba - a country which has enjoyed a long baseball history. Measuring a diminutive 5/8x7/8", the set consists of 90 cards, with the Babe Ruth example the most popular card in the set. As of this writing, only 270 cards in total have been graded by PSA, with only 11 examples of the elusive Ruth. This is one of THREE graded at VG-EX 4, with only FIVE examples grading higher. A Baguer's Chocolate Babe Ruth card transcends multiple collecting bases, including Ruth collectors and those who collect International cards, especially those from the baseball hotbed of Cuba.
