Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb Autographed Baseball | Signed By Two Greatest Baseball Players of All Time!
In a perfect world, every collector of baseball memorabilia owns a Babe Ruth or Ty Cobb signed baseball. Now, step back for a minute and dream of the chance to own a baseball that has both of these players on it. Here is that opportunity. The term 'rare' is defined as something that does not occur often and we certainly feel this ball is within, or perhaps beyond the scope of that term. With just a handful of known Babe Ruth & Ty Cobb dual autographed baseballs known to exist, Imperial Sports Auctions is flattered to offer this special lot to our bidders.
This artfully aged sphere is autographed by arguably the two greatest baseballs players of all time, Ruth & Cobb. The Bambino and The Georgia Peach. Both of these players reached beyond the baseball diamond during their playing days and until this day remain two of the most collected players of all time. Cobb has signed the side panel in jet black fountain pen while Ruth has gracefully inked the sweet spot as usual. Bidders, please do not take this opportunity lightly - another may not come around for quite some time. Many times collectors will seek that elusive single signed ball by a player, but in the case of having both Ruth and Cobb on the same baseball, there is no way to argue against it.
The ball shows adequate display use and a sweet, light vintage tone for its age amidst some minor surface marks. The signatures remain quite strong, particularly the Cobb at an '8' with the Ruth a '6-7' in strength. Bid freely and cherish this opportunity to own such a phenomenal piece of vintage baseball memorabilia.
Accompanied by a Full Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
