Presented is one of the most spectacular, high-grade Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig signed baseballs in existence. Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA/DNA, the Ruth signature is a NM 7 and the Gehrig signature is a stunning NM-MT 8. A ball grade of '7' results in the overall NM-MT 8 assessment by PSA. Both signatures "jump" off the creamy white surface. The placement of the fountain-pen signatures is also ideal. Ruth's signature sits upon its customary place of honor along the sweet spot, while Gehrig's appears on the side panel directly above. It is impossible not to be immediately struck by the incredible overall appearance of this ball! The ball, which is a Spalding Official National League (Heydler), presents with all of the manufacturer's stampings bold and distinct. This particular ball dates to the 1926-1927 manufacturing period, which was exactly the time when Ruth and Gehrig were becoming the most feared home-run duo in baseball history. A ball signed by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig is universally recognized as the most desirable dual-signed sphere in the hobby, with the demand far exceeding the limited supply. High-grade examples such as this are rarer still. Extraordinary in all respects and worthy of any world-class Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, New York Yankees, or signed-baseball collection. Full LOAs from PSA/DNA and James Spence/JSA. Opening Bid $25,000.
