Photograph of Babe Ruth, beautifully inscribed in black fountain pen "To Reggie Brown from Babe Ruth." PSA has encapsulated the photo and graded the signature MINT 9. These postcard-sized photos of Babe Ruth, which picture him in a swinging pose while at spring training, were produced specifically for Ruth to help fulfill autograph requests. The offered example is no exception and was sent to our consignor's father, a young autograph collector, in 1947. This photo is part of a much larger signature collection compiled by our consignor's father in the late 1940s ("The New England Autograph Collection"). All the items from the collection are featured in thirty-one separate lots in this auction, including many prominent Hall of Famer autographs. The photo (3.5x5.5") remains in Excellent to Mint condition. This is an outstanding Ruth signed photo in all respects and one that would be a welcome addition to any advanced Babe Ruth or Hall of Fame autograph collection.
