Description
1948 Babe Ruth Signed "The Babe Ruth Story" Book, PSA/DNA Mint 9 Auto. Search the globe and you will not locate a more pristine Bambino autograph than that which resides on the title page of this hardcover autobiography released just weeks prior to Ruth's passing. Though the book closes with the Babe's pledge to regain his health and continue his work as an ambassador of the game he loved and dominated, it sadly was not to be, and as such very few signed examples of this collectible book are to be found. This high-end representation remains tightly bound with original dust jacket exhibiting only a few scattered creases. All interior pages present as NRMT, keeping pace with the historic autograph that makes this piece a genuine heirloom of baseball's Golden Age. Full Grading LOA from PSA/DNA, Mint 9 Auto. Full LOA from Beckett Authentication Services.Guide Value or Estimate: $6,000 - up.
