The Babe's residency on an Official American League baseball from the presidency of Ernest Barnard assures a signing date between 1928 and 1931, a period when Ruth was averaging 49 long balls annually while driving in 154. His sweet spot application survives with impressive strength, easily rating a solid 7/10. The ball exhibits signs of potential game use prior to its meeting with the Babe's pen, suggesting the possibility that this was one of his 714 career homers. At a minimum, it's a top-tier representation of a hobby essential and one of the safest investments in the collectibles market. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from James Spence Authentication (JSA).
