(LOT 8)
Spectacular Babe Ruth Signed Original & Unique 3"x5" Snapshot Photo – PSA Gem Mint 10 Signature!
Any vintage collectible of the great "Sultan of Swat" is highly desirable, let alone one that carries an incredible PSA Gem Mint 10 signature as this absolutely miraculous offering. Babe Ruth personified our National Pastime, and his unparalleled "on the field" achievements easily place him as the greatest player in baseball history as well as a worldwide icon. Passed on through generations, this remarkable Babe Ruth inscribed original/unique 3" x 5" glossy snapshot photo depicts the "Sultan of Swat" in his Yankee glory days most likely from the late 1920's – early 1930's. True, while Ruth signed collectibles are certainly not rare, seldom does an original photograph surface portraying a virtually PERFECT Gem Mint 10 "Babe Ruth" script.

Simply stated, no hobby collectible is arguably more coveted than a classic Babe Ruth original image carrying a PSA Gem Mint 10 autograph, especially when it resides as a "one of a kind" snapshot photo. Consider that recently, some original Ruth "unsigned" images are selling in excess of five-figures, and we can only begin to imagine their potential value if you add a "Gem Mint 10" Babe Ruth signature to the photo! Unparalleled in both the baseball and hobby world, Ruth will forever stand as the most iconic player to ever grace a diamond via his uncanny batting, pitching and "off-the-field" persona. He clearly stands "above the game" itself, and is the true embodiment of a National hero.

For centuries to come, fans and collectors will join his vast following, and we cannot imagine a finer memento to treasure for a lifetime than this remarkable signed image. As is typically the case with the Bambino, he placed his extremely bold black fountain pen script in a "perfect" aesthetic area, directly to the left of his timeless "hands on hips" image. Since Ruth is donning his white practice shirt along with his Yankee pinstripes on an open field, we can only assume this classic picture was taken in a leisurely spring training moment. Crystal clear clarity and superb resolution highlight the seemingly "timeless" illustration and only a few negligible stray wrinkles barely visible to the naked eye are evident.

Most significant is the extremely bold "Babe Ruth" autograph that can be seen virtually across a room, and rightfully deemed a perfect "Gem Mint 10" by the prestigious PSA/DNA Company. You will get no arguments from virtually any historian regarding Babe Ruth's unequivocal standing within our National Pastime, and this arguably boldest Ruth script imaginable is the perfect testament to his pinnacle stature. A bona-fide world-class heirloom, now is the time to emulate "The Babe" himself and swat a home run of your own by seizing this museum worthy masterpiece that synonymous with Ruth's exploits will undoubtedly "echo for eternity"!
