Official American League (Harridge) baseball, dating to 1940-42, signed by Babe Ruth across the sweet spot. Ruth's signature has been scripted in black fountain pen and grades 7/10. This ball dates to the 1940-1942 manufacturing period and, presumably, was signed by Ruth during that three-year span. The ball displays moderate toning and numerous abrasions, indicating that it was played with after it was signed, but the Ruth signature is largely unaffected. While the ball is technically in Fair to Good condition, the signature remains bold and clearly legible, which is the most important factor for collectors. Full LOA from PSA.
