(LOT 132)
Attractive Babe Ruth Signed United States 1935 One Dollar Silver Certificate PSA 9 MINT

As the saying goes, "desperate times call for desperate measures", and this amazing United States Silver Certificate signed by the inimitable Babe Ruth may be one such measure. What would you do if the greatest baseball player that ever lived was walking by or within reach? Most certainly 10 of 10 people would have scrounged for anything on their person at the time so that Babe Ruth could sign it. You can almost see the fan patting his pockets and digging deep within each to find a scrap of paper only to settle on a silver certificate pulled from his wallet for the Bambino to etch his names across.

This fantastic circe-1935 US Silver Certificate has been signed in black fountain pen "Babe Ruth" at left of George Washington's bust. In the event that this was signed in its year release, this would have been Ruth's final season of Major League baseball, concluding his career as a Boston Brave. Thought the currency does present with a fair among of circulation wear, little detracts from The Babe's autograph to which PSA/DNA has encapsulated and assessed as 9 MINT. This amazing baseball memento, signed by Babe Ruth, likely changed one fan's habit of always carrying a scrap of paper or something similar in the event that he ever runs into John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Greta Garbo or even Lou Gehrig walking down the street.

MIN BID $2,000
