Babe Ruth Signing Baseballs (c.1929) Classic Black-and-White Premium Poster Print - Photofile

An absolute must for the wall of any autograph collector! This spectacular poster takes you back to the roaring '20s, when the great Babe Ruth became the first transcendent baseball superstar as the dominating home run king of the New York Yankees. In an era where collecting memorabilia was all but unheard-of, the demand for baseballs autographed by the Babe was so intense, fans often risked jumping onto the field during warm-ups to get him to sign - and, in true Babe Ruth fashion, he almost always did! He also agreed to signing sessions like this, when his sponsors and bosses set him up in an office with hundreds of brand-new balls to sign, for them to send out to the thousands of kids who wrote to the Yankees asking for a Babe Ruth souvenir. So we know that Babe signed hundreds of fresh-from-the-box Major League baseballs back in the day - but how many actually survived the decades? We may never know.

A SportsPosterWarehouse.com exclusive, this poster is printed direct from the original photographic source, includes logos from baseball's Cooperstown Collection and the National Baseball Hall of Fame, and is affixed with an MLB authentic serialized hologram. A brilliant piece of classic Americana for your wall, this one belongs in a nice frame in a prominent place on the wall of home, office, restaurant, bar, or memorabilia shop!
