Lot # 21: 1948 Babe Ruth Signed Original Matte Photograph - Full Beckett

Always a fan pleaser, the one and only Babe Ruth was just a month away from the end of his life when he took time to neatly sign and date the offered photograph. This nicely preserved photograph is a handsome 8" x 10" silver gelatin matte print of a well-known batting pose of Ruth in New York Yankees pinstripes. Ruth has thoughtfully signed, dated and personalized this crisp, vintage photograph over his jersey, with "To My Pal Edward From Babe Ruth 7-15-48". Pride of ownership is assured with this late-life signature, which projects distinct quality. Full LOA from Steve Grad/Beckett Authentication Services.
