Babe Ruth 1915 Boston Red Sox 'World Series' Commemorative Card in Protective Holder

This item is a vintage-style baseball card featuring a black and white image of what appears to be a young Babe Ruth in a Boston Red Sox uniform. The card is encased in a clear, rigid plastic holder, commonly known as a toploader or semi-rigid holder, designed to protect collectible cards. The image on the card depicts Babe Ruth from the chest up, wearing a baseball cap and his jersey, which clearly shows 'RED SOX' across the chest in a classic font. Below the image, the text 'WORLD SERIES' is prominently displayed, followed by 'WARMS BENCH AFTER 18-8 SEASON' and the year '1915' in a smaller font. The card itself appears to be of a paper or cardstock material, typical for baseball cards. While it has a vintage aesthetic, the crispness of the image and the text suggest it might be a modern reproduction or a tribute card rather than an original 1915 issue, which would typically show more wear and tear after over a century. The edges of the card within the protective sleeve seem relatively sharp, and there are no immediately visible major creases, tears, or significant discoloration. The protective case features a small sticker or label adhered to its top edge that reads '1-A', possibly indicating an indexing or grading identifier. The overall presentation is clean, indicating good care.
