(LOT 165)
Outstanding Babe Ruth Signed 4" x 6" Postcard Photo - PSA NM/MT 8 Auto

This sensational 4" x 6" Babe Ruth signed image reveals a stupendous PSA "NM/MT-8" autograph, boldly scripted in the upper left quadrant. Signed in black fountain pen, this ultra-popular Thorne image was first introduced to the baseball community in 1928, with Thorne standing alongside George Burke as one of the most illustrious baseball photographers during the late 1920's/1930's. Indeed, any vintage photo or autograph collector is extremely familiar with this iconic illustration that was place on these postcard sized photos during the 1940's for Ruth to sign and offer his seemingly infinite-like fan base.

Most impressive is the fact that Ruth penned his signature in a "perfect" spot; with the upper left quadrant white background area maximizing the awe-inspiring aesthetics of this highly coveted Babe Ruth autograph. The classic black & white batting image literally jumps off the photo, revealing magnificent eye appeal as the Bambino has just completed his mighty swing. The "Sultan of Swat's" unparalleled standing as baseball's greatest player ever solidifies the necessity for any serious hobbyist to add a Ruth autograph to their esteemed gathering, and this certainly resides as a grand opportunity to make this collector's dream a reality!
