Ruth's large black fountain pen signature on the sweetspot is, by far, the nicest autograph on this OAL (Barnard) baseball. If not for the ball's tone it surely would grade as EX-MT based on its flawless form and fluidity. Joining him are 21 other Yanks including: Lazzeri, Pennock,Ruffing, Combs, Gehrig (secretarial), Hargrave, Sherid, Chapman, McEvoy, Dickey. Bengough, Reese. Collectively the signatures are EX-EX+ but again due to the ball's VG condition they do not display as such.
