Encapsulated with Autograph Certified and graded MINT 9 by PSA/DNA (83916939). Hall of Famer. A cornerstone of any advanced baseball collection is presented, in the form of a signature penned by the game's greatest player, Babe Ruth. His autograph, rendered in the legend's neat and fluid, Catholic School-influenced script, is perhaps the most recognizable signature in the world. The eye appeal of the offered example is absolutely phenomenal, with the Babe's signature script executed in assertive strokes of fountain pen ink. The plain, otherwise unmarked manila card bearing the Babe's signature handiwork reflects spots of light toning, but constitutes an ideal canvas. Ruth, an inaugural Cooperstown enshrinee in 1936, passed away in 1948. A choice example of the icon's much sought-after signature, in Mint condition.
