Presented is a vintage baseball graced with Ruth's exceptionally resplendent, blue fountain-tip signature. This Reach Official American League William Harridge sphere hails from c. 1946 based on the stamping. The ball's solid red laces have retained their vibrant hues and the stampings have faded somewhat, but remain quite legible. With all this, the Babe's flowing and curvaceous signature is undoubtedly the headlining feature here. The rich black fountain pen ink that flowed from Ruth's pen is nearly as vibrant as the day it was originally penned, and stands as a premier example within the hobby. The glamorous and immaculate nature of this baseball is nearly is as breathtaking as Ruth's swing itself. With the signature remaining incredibly bold, this is a true investment-grade Ruth relic. The baseball is accompanied by an LOA from PSA/DNA (AH00680) with an autograph grade of "7," as well as an LOA from JSA (XX81663), for the signature.
