Description:
This is a modern Topps Collectors' Series baseball card featuring Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees, noted as an 'All-Time Record Holder.' The design reproduces a vintage photograph surrounded by a faux wood-grain border, with a yellow label identifying the player and team. This card is part of a set produced to commemorate legendary record holders in baseball history. It is not an original 1930s-40s era card, but rather a modern collectible, likely produced in the late 1970s or 1980s as part of a nostalgia or reissue series.
