Goudey Babe Ruth 149

Goudey Babe Ruth 149 5aa73 — a 1933 Goudey gum card, number 149 in the set that turned bubble gum into a cathedral for the Bambino, his pinstriped silhouette rendered in those saturated yellows and reds that only Goudey's lithographers could coax from cheap cardboard. The Sultan of Swat at his most marketable: chewable, collectible, and already half-myth. About the Source Bella Frye sources sports artifacts from American archives — the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for inventor's drawings, and from the great American tobacco-card and broadside traditions for vintage memorabilia: Allen & Ginter, T206, Cracker Jack, Boston Garter, the Negro League broadsides, and the early press photographs that documented baseball, football, golf, and the rest of the American sporting century.
