Text throughout relates to Babe Ruth. Both posters have fold lines and moderate wear throughout and the Ruth related piece has a tear to one corner. Much of the most notable wear (but not all) could likely be matted out when framed for display. Fold lines would remain visible: see description ($500-$1,000)Final Bid: $611.00
