A ball signed by Babe Ruth is a transcendent object. Its appeal reaches beyond the circles of sports memorabilia enthusiasts, earning recognition as an icon in the field of Americana. A premier example is offered here. This OAL (Harridge) ball features a perfectly rendered Babe Ruth signature in black ink on the heart of the sweet spot (8/10). The ball's light to medium toned surface shows a nice vintage patina with only moderate general handling wear and light soiling. Manufacturer's stampings are moderately legible. A Ruth "single" of this quality would constitute a cornerstone of any significant sports or Americana collection. EX-MT condition overall. Includes a full LOA from PSA/DNA.
