A Vintage Piece of Baseball Nostalgia...Autographed Babe Ruth Photo
One of the most sought after autographs in the world of baseball is Babe Ruth.

Not only is the name Ruth one of the most well known names in baseball, he's even inspired his own verbage, "Ruthisms". This piece comes beautifully framed and matted and features a black and white photograph of the Babe and is autographed in black ink. The signature comes with documents signifying that it is an original signature, with "no unnatural pen lifts or breaks in the...signature". The documents come from Robert E. Prouty, Examiner of Questioned Documents.
