Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig Autographed Baseball c.1927-31. (PSA/DNA 7.5 NM) Near white to white Ernest Barnard AL baseball remains in immaculate unused condition with crisp manufacturer and president stampings. Richly colorful red and blue stitching provide a wonderful threaded backdrop for two stunning black fountain pen signatures of the two greatest slugging teammates in MLB history. As customary, the Babe has parked his signature on the sweet spot with Gehrig positioned perfectly just to the left on a side panel. Each autograph remains virtually as signed rating 8/9 out of 10. The Ruth has a touch of original ink "pooling" to the right edge of the line crossing the "t" but does not detract from this imposing signed baseball. Includes full LOAs from JSA and PSA/DNA (Ruth: 7, Gehrig: 8:, Overall: 7.5): NM
