Lot Number: 845
Description: 1947 Babe Ruth twice signed baseball. Virtually pristine Harridge AL ball has been signed twice by Ruth, including a personal salutation on Christmas Day in 1947. Ruth's signature across the sweet spot rates 9 to 9.5 out of 10. Inverted on a side panel is an additional inscription, "To My Pal Paul Comfrey From Babe Ruth Dec. 25 - 1947", which intersects slightly with the sweet spot autograph. The side panel inscription matches the boldness of Ruth's sweet spot signature, while showing two very minor smudges, neither affecting the autograph. The ball itself is in like-new condition with light manufacturer's stampings. Of the many different baseballs signed by Babe Ruth that survive today, few possess characteristics as unique as this one. Includes LOA from PSA/DNA (Overall Grade 7.5 NM+; Autograph Grade: 8, Baseball Grade: 6) and LOA from JSA: NM-MT
