Description: Offered for your consideration is...#1 - GEORGE HERMAN "BABE" RUTH ~ Boston Red Sox & A longtime member of the National Baseball Hall of FamePerez-Steele Galleries HALL OF FAME Great Moments cabinet card ~ Uniquely numbered 4541 / 5,000Among the most popular large size cards are those issued, 1985-1997, by the Perez-Steele Galleries in cooperation with the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum. Each card is, quite literally, a numbered, limited edition piece of art, and is perfect for matting and framing with previously signed memorabilia.Entitled GREAT MOMENTS and styled after the classic T-3 Turkey Red Cabinets (circa 1912), the cards were made from vibrant watercolor paintings by noted artist Dick Perez and limited to just 5,000 numbered sets; the exact set number being imprinted on the card back. The cards are a large size (5-3/4" by 8"). Each pictures a Hall of Fame player exclusively.This card would make a great displayCondition: Excellent-Plus/Near-Mint - check the high resolution scans. A colored background has been provided to assist in evaluating card edges and corners. This is the actual card the buyer will receive. ANY NUMBER of single cards (up to and including 8X10 inches in size) will ship for the one single card shipping cost IF the buyer will request and wait for a combined invoice before paying.Postscript: Our last scan has nothing to do with this listing. It is a picture of all-time baseball great Ted Williams with The Baseball Hobbyist's Steve Mitchell at a 1983 Connecticut sports collectors gathering - Ted's very first-ever collector event. On the second day of the show "The Splendid Splinter" visited with collectors and dealers and graciously posed for this photo. (Photo was taken by fellow collector-dealer Bob Thing, longtime Maine hobbyist). A personal note: As a collector since 1957 I have observed the baseball hobby scene longer than many and have seen some quality items go begging for a time. Full sets of 1964 Topps Giant Size sold for $1-3 more than 10 years after their issuance; S & S Baseball Card sets were offered for $2 more than two decades after their appear-ance; and I personally bought not one but TWO 1957 Topps baseball sets in 1974 for $52.50 apiece through the most widely circulated hobby auction of the day, The Card Collector's Bulletin. The point? Simply this: The Perez-Steele Galleries GREAT MOMENTS cards offer quality and scarcity for a very low price...today. Tomorrow - who knows?_______________________Important: Shipping InformationA goal has always been to keep shipping costs low.
