2019 Topps Allen & Ginter Babe Ruth Exhibition-Used Pants Relic Card (BGS 9.5)

This is a highly significant modern baseball collectible featuring the legendary Babe Ruth. The item is a 2019 Topps Allen & Ginter trading card that includes an authentic piece of 'Exhibition Used Pants' worn by Ruth, embedded as a relic within the card. The card features a vintage-style lithographic portrait of Ruth in his New York Yankees uniform against a cream-colored background, consistent with the Victorian-era design of the Allen & Ginter brand. It is professionally authenticated and graded by Beckett Grading Services (BGS), receiving a Mint 9.5 Gem Mint grade with a sub-grade of 10 for the swatch authenticity. The card is encased in a thick clear plastic slab and is presented in its original 'Jersey Fusion Legends Collection' deluxe packaging. This packaging consists of an outer black and red presentation box with a custom grey foam insert tailored to the slab's dimensions. The overall condition appears pristine, with the protective slab showing no visible scuffing or scratches, and the textile swatch exhibiting a natural fibrous texture appropriate for early 20th-century wool or heavy cotton flannel. This piece combines the rarity of 'game-used' or 'worn' memorabilia with the high-grade preservation valued by sports card investors.
