A ball signed by Babe Ruth is a transcendent object. Its appeal reaches beyond the circles of sports memorabilia enthusiasts earning iconic recognition in the larger realm of Americana. A superior example is offered here originating from a fans fortunate encounter with the legendary slugger in the 1940s. Perfectly placed by Ruth on the heart of the sweet spot of this OAL (Harridge) ball is his fluidly rendered signature in exceptionally bold blue fountain pen solidly rating 8 out of 10. The balls current state of preservation is simply remarkable remaining only mildly toned with minimal evidence of handling. In terms of condition and overall aesthetic quality this specimen easily ranks among the elite Ruth singles offered publicly in recent years. In addition to authenticating the ball PSA/DNA has assessed its overall condition as 7 NM.
Includes a full LOA from PSA/DNA (Grade 7).
