Description: Exceptional Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig auto. baseball c.1930. Off white "National League" baseball signed by both Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in black fountain pen. The Ruth signature occupies the sweet spot rating a resounding 9.5 out of 10. Gehrig is nicely positioned to the left on a side panel rating 7 out of 10. The ball itself has a few minor "dot" sized surface abrasions which do not detract from the impressive display qualities of the two pronounced signatures. A facsimile name stamping of an apparent Minor League president is found on a side panel indicating that the ball was likely signed during a barnstorming tour. One of the finer exemplars that we have handled. Includes LOA from JSA and its original Spalding National League ball box: Ball: EX-EX/MT, Ruth signature: NM-MT, Gehrig signature: EX-MT
