Item Description
Featuring a great photo of Babe Ruth himself, as well as several other
members of the Baseball Hall of Fame, this issue is listed as scarce by the 2004
Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide. This book is considered to be part of the
most significant run of sports-themed comics ever published. Between 1950 and
1952, Fawcett Publishing, recognizing that the superhero genre was dying out,
tried to combine the nation's love of sports with its love of comics. During
those years, Fawcett published sport titles that featured cover subjects such as
Jackie Robinson, Larry Dobbs, and Joe Louis. In addition, they also published
titles that featured baseball's pennant-winning teams of 1951, The New York
Yankees and the Giants. This book, noted for its focus on the Baseball Hall of
Fame, tells the story of several Hall of Fame members. It also features a
Charles Dexter story. The pages are off-white to white. The book is
CGC-certified 8.5 (VF+). This copy is tied with one other as the second highest
copy certified.
