1922 E120 American Caramel Babe Ruth - BGS 2 - New York Americans 'Yankees' (E.G.D. Collection)
Exceptional & highly desirable 1922 E120 American Caramel Babe Ruth card professionally graded BGS 2 Good, representing one of the premier vintage baseball card highlights in Harrington's inaugural sports memorabilia auction.
Issued by the American Caramel Company in 1922, the E120 series remains one of the most iconic & important pre-war baseball card releases of the era, featuring many of the game's earliest legends. Babe Ruth examples from the set are among the most sought-after pre-war cards in the hobby due to their rarity, historical significance, & enduring collector demand.
This card features Ruth during the height of his dominance with the New York Americans (Yankees), at a time when he was transforming baseball into America's premier spectator sport through his unprecedented power hitting & larger-than-life popularity.
The offered example has been professionally authenticated & encapsulated by Beckett Grading Services (BGS) with an overall grade of 2 Good. Despite evident age-related wear consistent with the assigned grade, the card retains strong overall eye appeal & impressive display qualities for a century-old caramel issue.
Notably, combined population data across PSA, BGS, & SGC indicates that only approximately thirty-one (31) examples of this card have received a higher numerical grade across the three major grading companies, underscoring the scarcity & significance of the offered example.
Authentication & Provenance
Professionally authenticated & graded BGS 2 Good by Beckett Grading Services.
This card originates from the E.G.D. Collection, a long-held private collection assembled over many years featuring vintage baseball cards, pre-war tobacco & regional issues, autographed sports memorabilia, & historically significant sports collectibles.
Condition
Professionally graded BGS 2 Good. Presents with visible corner wear, creasing, surface wear, & age-related toning consistent with the assigned grade & fragile nature of early caramel-card issues. Please refer to photographs & grading holder for complete condition details.
