(LOT 111)
1934 World Series Original Type I Photo Including Ruth, Dean, Frisch, & Cochrane – Christy Walsh Syndicate – Measures 14" x 19 1/2" - Full PSA LOA

The 1934 World Series depicted a fierce battle between the St. Louis Cardinals and Detroit Tigers, eventually won by the legendary St. Louis "Gas House Gang" by an 11-0 score in game 7. Throughout the 1930's superstar agent Christy Walsh continued his high-end promotional tactics by having publicity photos taken in sports most memorable events. Such is the case for this absolutely breathtaking 14" x 19 1/2" original PSA Type I photo that includes the immortal Babe Ruth as well as several Hall of Fame members from the Cardinals and Tigers.

Included are Dizzy Dean, Frankie Frisch and Mickey Cochrane, with the entire oversized image reflecting superb contrast and vivid registration. Virtually the entire image has managed to elude any glaring blemishes, with only some diminutive tape remnants evident near the lower right corner. Any original pre-war image including the incomparable Babe Ruth is worthy of the utmost attention, let alone one that originated from the Walsh estate with extremely rare oversized dimensions. - Full PSA Type I LOA and a letter from the Walsh family.
