Description: Exceptional Babe Ruth single signed baseball c.1940s. Near-white “Official League” baseball features Ruth’s boldly rendered blue ink signature across the sweet spot. The ball has a fresh, unused appearance and is remarkably clean but for two brown stains near the manufacturer’s stampings. Accompanying provenance includes a newspaper article recalling an appearance Ruth made in Dallas in 1947 to promote American Legion baseball which is when this ball was obtained. Also included is a copy of an American Legion team photo picturing the ball’s original owner. A visually impressive Ruth single that presents at the NM level or better. Includes LOAs from JSA and PSA/DNA (auto. grade: 7, ball grade: 5 due to aforementioned blemishes, overall grade: 6): Ball: EX-EX/MT, Signature: NM
Estimated Price: ($15,000.00-$20,000.00)
