1961 Topps Babe Ruth #401

The Babe lingers in a set built for a new generation

By 1961, Babe Ruth had been retired for more than two decades and gone for over a dozen years, yet Topps kept his image in circulation for collectors who knew the legend. Card number 401 keeps one of the game's defining figures in the hobby's mainstream rather than confined to vintage prewar issues. In a PSA 6, the card presents as an honest mid-grade example, with visible handling but solid eye appeal and intact corners for the type.
