The vast majority of Babe Ruth signed photos are 8" by 10" or smaller. Occasionally examples are seen in the range of 11" by 14" and are generally considered "oversized." However this example measures 17" by 21 1/2" (visible area) making it one of the largest Babe Ruth signed photographs known. His inscription appears in an ideal area where the lighter background enables optimum contrast. There he penned "To My Good Pals May and Peter Sincerely Babe Ruth" (9/10). The order of the inscription shows that Ruth corrected himself by inserting the personalization. The condition of the image itself appears flawless however close inspection reveals a couple of minor surface wrinkles. Matted and framed. LOA from PSA/DNA.
