One of the cornerstones of any baseball collection is a signature of the game’s greatest player, Babe Ruth. His autograph, signed in his neat, fluid Catholic School script, is perhaps the most recognizable signature in the world. This example offered here features Ruth’s distinctive signature in black ben on a 3 ½ x 2-inch cut with “Sincerely” written above. There is a vertical crease line that goes through the “r” in “Sincerely” and the upward line between the “a” and “b” in “Babe”, but otherwise the signature appears bold and bright. This Babe Ruth cut has been encapsulated by PSA/DNA (83790642) and has graded Ruth’s signature a near-perfect MINT 9.
