Sign In to see what this sold for

Babe Ruth Single Signed Baseball (PSA/DNA Graded 8)
Babe Ruth was the ultimate hero of a sport with more than its fair share of heroes - a giant of monumental swagger and breathtaking talent who set the standard by which all others would be judged. His position atop baseball in general is rightly proportionate with his position in the field of baseball collectibles. In the latter field, no object is a greater embodiment of his persona than a single signed baseball. This OAL (Harridge) ball is incredibly clean, hailing from the 1940-1945 manufacturing period and bearing its maker's bold stampings. Ruth's black-ink, sweet spot signature is large, vibrant and well formed. The minimal amount of natural toning for a ball of its age is visible. PSA/DNA has given the artifact an aggregate grade of 8/10. LOAs from PSA/DNA (Graded 8) and JSA.
