Babe Ruth Autographed All-American Photo – PSA/DNA "NM/MT 8" Autograph
This outstanding offering has been boldly scripted "Babe Ruth" in black fountain pen directly beneath the hallowed Ruth image, graded a stellar PSA Mint 9 by the prestigious PSA/DNA Grading Company. The black & white photo depicts the "Sultan of Swat" donning his period style All-Americans jacket with the Bambino the legendary sponsor for the renowned All-American baseball team. Portraying spectacular contrast and clarity, Ruth reveals a classic grin as he poses for the camera with his hands in pockets for this seemingly timeless photograph. Stealing the show of course is the majestic Babe Ruth script that, synonymous with Ruth's iconic legacy, has defied "Father Time" by retaining a majority of its original attributes.

Only some slight ink "skips" on the "B" in Babe prevent this majestic autograph from earning a "'Mint 9" assessment. Simply stated, Babe Ruth was larger than life, with his unequivocal diamond feats and worldly personality placing him as our National Pastime's most celebrated all-time player. For 20 years, Ruth dominated the game from both the batter's box and pitching rubber in an unparalleled manner, with his Red Sox pitching prowess and incomparable batting exploits surely "echoing for eternity." It is therefore with little surprise that the hobby's most sophisticated collectors seek at least one imposing Ruth script for their prized collections, with this spectacular offering meriting a final resting place in any esteemed autograph gathering! - PSA/DNA "NM/MT 8" Autograph/Encapsulation
