1920 Original Photo of Babe Ruth Mounted on Album Page with Ruth's Inscription
Mitsuhiko Fujita dedicated an entire 11" by 14" album page to the presentation of a 4 3/4" by 9 1/4" original photograph of Babe Ruth in his Yankee uniform. Upon one of Mr. Fujita's many encounters with the Babe in the course of the 1934 tour, he presented the US slugger with the page for his consideration. Underneath the photo, Ruth added his large signature along with his summation of the photo as being "Taken in 1920." Both his signature and inscription rate 9/10. The spectacular sepia photo itself has been glued to the page and appears to be in excellent condition with a few line creases. LOAs from PSA/DNA and JSA.
