For decades, this baseball was forgotten in an attic in the northeastern United States, only recently rising from its long slumber to blow our minds. To state it simply, the autographs on this baseball are in no way diminished from the moment each superstar Yankee held the ball in his hands. Ruth's sweet spot signature is just perfect, running per-pendicular to Gehrig's side panel sig that is equally strong. Even the ball is lovely, an ONL (Heydler) with the darkest orange stamping you're ever likely to see, and just the faintest bit of even toning to suggest its advanced age. If you're the type of collector who only wants the best, place your bid now.
