As noted by the original news caption, titled "Baseball's Forgotten Man" and dated "12/31/35," Ruth is adjusting to life as a "private citizen" since his retirement from baseball six months earlier. An "Acme Newspictures, Inc." credit stamp appears on the reverse, along with three additional credit stamps (all partially obscured by the news caption). The photo (8x6") displays a few tiny edge tears and several light-to-moderate creases. Encapsulated by PSA as Type I Authentic.
