Recent Sales
Similar raw 1983 Swell Babe Ruth cards have sold on eBay between $5 and $15 depending on exact condition.
Condition Details
Noticeable corner wear, minor edge chipping, light surface wear, and a visible vertical crease or scratch running down the right side of the card image.
Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for professional grading due to the visible crease/scratch and corner wear, as grading fees would likely exceed the card's total value in a mid-to-low grade.
