Gorgeously scripted side panel inscription provides a bit of extra intrigue for the Ruth collector, as the recipient's name and that of the Babe are one and the same. So we get a touch of the Bambino's more formal signature within the text, which reads, "To Geo. D. Derse Jr. From Babe Ruth." The superstar slugger's black fountain pen ink rates 7/10, and the desirable "Babe Ruth Home Run Special" baseball is clean and unblemished. A marvelous example of the hobby's fundamental building block. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
