Description
Circa 1930 Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig Dual-Signed Baseball. "They didn't get along," explained fellow pinstriped Hall of Famer Tony Lazzeri. "Lou thought Ruth was a big-mouth and Ruth thought Gehrig was cheap. They were both right." Though their personalities couldn't have been more different, the men whose digits were the first to be retired from Yankee service share the manner of athletic immortality reserved for just the highest reaches of the athletic pantheon. Separately, their autographs remain among the most coveted and collectible in the hobby, but together that appeal swells exponentially, particularly when that shared medium is horsehide.While the signatures have faded quite a bit since they were applied to the provided "Suburban League" sphere, we'd count this as a glass half-full, as most Ruth/Gehrig balls cost more than a new car. Each is still readily legible beneath a vintage coating of shellac, about 3/10 in strength. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.
