1925 Exhibits Champions Babe Ruth PSA 3 – Rare Early Ruth with Just 19 PSA Graded Examples

This 1925 Exhibits “Champions” Babe Ruth is a true scarcity in the world of vintage baseball cards—only 19 total examples have been graded by PSA, making it one of Ruth’s tougher early issues. Graded PSA 3, this copy offers outstanding eye appeal for the grade, with a clear image of the Sultan of Swat mid-swing and vintage character that captures the raw beauty of pre-war collecting.

Issued by the Exhibit Supply Company of Chicago, the 1925 "Champions" subset featured full-length black-and-white photographic images of sports legends, including only a handful of baseball players—and Ruth was, of course, the headliner. At the time, he was deep into his reign as the most dominant player the game had ever seen. In 1925, despite battling illness, Ruth remained a towering figure, already a three-time home run leader and World Series hero with the Yankees.

The card’s bold, oversized style and minimalistic design give it a museum-quality presence. While lower in technical grade, the surface retains strong clarity, and the corners and edges show typical wear for a near-100-year-old Exhibit—but nothing that detracts from the card’s unmistakable impact. A rare and historically significant Ruth card, this piece is a grail-level addition for advanced collectors chasing elusive issues of the game’s greatest icon.
