Presented is an absolutely glowing treasure of Americana, a single signed baseball of the greatest American sportsman of all-time, Babe Ruth. The flowing undaunted script of the Bambino's salutation addresses the sweet spot of this white William Harridge American league ball. The signature itself rates as a strong "8" with a deep bold embellishment of the famed script with only the very slightest of a small brush (no stray ink) at the very top of the "B". The ball itself grades a solid and impressive "6" with strong stampings, for an overall final grade of "7" from PSA/DNA. William Harridge ruled over the junior circuit from 1931 through 1959 making it entirely possible that the "Sultan of Swat" held this stunning ball and signed it wearing Yankee Pinstripes. This is a “bucket list” caliber artifact that leaves little room or want for an upgrade.
Includes a Letter of Grading and Authenticity from PSA/DNA (Overall Grade 7) and a Letter of Authenticity from JSA.
