Baseball (manufacturer's stampings completely faded) signed by Babe Ruth in blue fountain pen across the sweet spot. JSA has noted that the "signature has been enhanced by an unknown hand." Despite the fact that the Babe was a prolific signer, the demand for single-signed Ruth balls has always far exceeded the supply. The ball, which has a protective coat of shellack, displays a few surface abrasions and scattered spots of discoloration throughout. In Fair condition overall. Full LOA from James Spence/JSA.
