Description: Spectacular Babe Ruth New York Yankees autographed large format photograph c.1927. Striking black and white 8"x10" photograph depicting five key members of the 1927 New York Yankees to include Waite Hoyt, Babe Ruth, Miller Huggins, Bob Meusel, and Bob Shawkey. Each player has signed their respective image in black fountain pen rating from 8 to 9 out of 10. Ruth has a very slight "feathering" to the "h" in last name mentioned for accuracy only. The photo itself presents with outstanding clarity and contrast having only some slight typical surface undulation from age. Stamped with "International Newsreel" markings on back dating to the 1922-28 labeling period. No superlatives properly describe the quality and visuals of this particular signed image. Of particular note, the scarcity of Ruth and Huggins jointly signed items coupled with the fact they are posed next to each other in the offered image. Outstanding piece of museum quality. Matted and framed archivally. Includes LOA from PSA/DNA and letter of provenance from the Ruth family: NMEstimated Price Range: ($25,000-$50,000)
