1926-27 Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig Multi-Signed Baseball. Two-season stamping style of the provided ONL (Heydler) sphere places derivation within the most glorious era of Yankees history, guaranteeing American League Championship vintage at a minimum, with a 50% chance that it was signed as Ruth and Gehrig claimed a new home run crown and MVP Award respectively in 1927. We must also note that the appearance of these Junior Circuit legends upon a National League ball leads one forcefully to the conclusion that the autographs were acquired during the World Series in either St. Louis or Pittsburgh.

The greatest slugging tandem in baseball history signed in the same black fountain pen ink, with Ruth a magnificent 8/10 at his standard sweet spot position and Gehrig a couple points lighter (as typical for his more delicate pen pressure) on the western panel. The ball itself is lightly and evenly toned with age and free of any staining or abrasions. It's a particularly fine example of this essential pairing, worthy of prime real estate in the finest of trophy rooms. Please note that there are remnants of signatures on the south panel. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.
