Babe Ruth Single-Signed 1947 Baseball.
Lot 16. Babe Ruth Single-Signed 1947 Baseball. A sweeter story you’ve never heard. Our consignor is the original owner. In 1947, he was a baseball player at Burbank High School. As a reward for their play, he and his teammates were taken to a game at Wrigley Field. There, he spotted none other than Babe Ruth sitting two rows back! Thinking quickly, he “borrowed” a ball from the dugout for the Bambino to sign. Here it is! An attractive, evenly toned, light cream-color ball that is vg-ex primarily because the pre-printed areas have faded. The autograph is a good 2 to vg 3. It is light, with all letters are visible to the naked eye. It displays nicely with Ruth’s signature on the sweet spot. Our consignor wrote “1947” at the top of the south panel. Authenticated by Kevin Keating.
Winning Bid $1,433.
