(LOT 121)
c.1930's Babe Ruth & Boy - PSA Type I Encapsulated Tri-Boro Photos - Measures Approx. 8" x 10"

No baseball player ever adored children more than the illustrious Babe Ruth who always seemed to find quality time to spend with his youth fan base. As most historians are well aware of, this fan base amounted to a seemingly infinite number, with every one of the Bambino's young admirers dreaming of meeting our national Pastime's greatest all-time player. Ruth's unparalleled popularity stemmed from his incredible batting feats that included 714 lifetime round-trippers, with 60 of them walloped in his renowned 1927 season. Additionally, his overall flamboyant persona captured the hearts of millions of Americans, justifying why he captivated an adoring Nation. This remarkable 8" x 10" PSA Type 1 offering just happens to reveal the 'Sultan of Swat" teaching one of his youthful admirers a classic batting stance, taken in the locker room of what may be the legendary Yankee Stadium.

Interestingly enough, both Ruth and the boy are wearing "Babe Ruth ties", with the enthralled youth also donning a Babe Ruth cap. Fine contrast, brilliant resolution and a well-centered image situated between four bright white borders dominate this spine-tingling keepsake, with the verso depicting the critical "Tri-Boro Photos" credit stamp and pencil written Albert Brickbinder name. While we cannot assume the Brickbinder name is the fortunate boy in the picture (possibly?), what we know with 100% certainty is that meeting the incomparable Babe Ruth forever resided as a once in a lifetime magical moment for this ecstatic fan, ultimately proving that dreams do come true! – PSA Type 1 Encapsulation
