Description: Fine Babe Ruth single signature baseball c.1930's. Lightly toned red and black stitched International League baseball with National League stampings on opposite sweet spot signed boldly in black ink by Babe Ruth on a side panel. Signature is very strong with consistent toning and rates 9 out of 10. It must have been humorous to watch Ruth try to locate a signing area on a sweet spot only to be relegated to a side panel due to the dual league stampings. Given the provenance it is almost assured that this ball was signed while Ruth was visiting his hometown of Baltimore and adds an attractive historical footnote to this fine baseball. Accompanied by a letter of provenance and authenticity from Hunt Auctions,Inc: Ball: EX, Signature: NM
Sold For: $11,000.00
