Babe Ruth Signed Photo, 8x10. Outstanding, PSA Mint 9

This striking 8" x 10" sepia portrait captures Babe Ruth in an intimate, close-up pose, wearing his iconic Yankees cap. Ruth’s bold blue fountain pen signature sits prominently in the lower right corner and has been authenticated and graded MINT 9 by PSA/DNA—an exceptional grade rarely seen on Ruth signed photographs.

While Ruth often signed smaller photos (typically ranging from 3"x5" to 4"x6"), large-format 8"x10" examples are virtually unheard of and extremely rare. Ruth occasionally used this exact image in the early 1940s to fulfill autograph requests, but nearly all known examples include personalized inscriptions. This piece stands apart as one of the very few bearing only his clean, uncluttered signature.

The image itself remains highly appealing, along with the gorgeous MINT 9 autograph. Only mentioned for transparency, minor professional restoration can be detected under magnification and does nothing to detract from the photo’s visual impact and stunning eye appeal.

Featuring one of the most recognizable images of the Babe and boasting a signature that appears as crisp as the day it was penned, this is truly an elite specimen. A standout centerpiece worthy of the most advanced collection.
