Description
1934 Babe Ruth Signed Tour of Japan Photograph. His New York Yankees years behind him, and only the sad sideshow of a farewell season with the last place Boston Braves ahead, the great Bambino provided his final (and arguably his greatest) gift to the sport of baseball with his participation in the historic 1934 Tour of Japan. No other single endeavor has done so much to expand the reach of our National Pastime, and the journey continues to pay dividends with many international superstars making their marks in the Major Leagues. Artifacts deriving from this voyage across the Pacific hold special appeal to the educated collector, and rightfully so. This was the type of photo Ruth gave away during the Tour, autographed at the bottom with Near Mint strength in this instance. Displaying bold black ink by the Yankees legend, the EX-MT showpiece measures at 3.5x5", while it is framed and matted at 9x10". Full LOA from JSA. Full LOA from PSA/DNA. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.Guide Value or Estimate: $10,000 - up.
