They are considered to be the two greatest Yankees - perhaps even the two greatest players - of all time. The Sultan of Swat, Babe Ruth, started his career as a pitcher for the Boston Red Sox before he was sold to the Yankees for the mere sum of $125,000 - a laughable amount today, where millions of dollars are regularly seen offered up for even the most mediocre of players. The Babe set the MLB record for career home runs, slugging percentage, RBIs, and bases on balls. Similarly, The Iron Horse, Lou Gehrig, played for 17 seasons with the Yankees and was a 7 time All-Star, 2 time AL MVP, a Triple Crown winner, and (perhaps most impressive of all) played 2,130 games straight. Signed photos from the two of them are nearly impossible to find, and are extremely valuable. This 2.5" x 4" original vintage photograph has been signed by both Yankee legends in stunning steel tip, as the pair poses with a pretty young female in true 20s-era fashion. There are some minor adhesions issues with the ink to the photo, but there is no doubt that the signatures stand out strong despite any slight bubbling. In overall fine condition with minor paper loss and some handling wear, the photo has been authenticated & encapsulated by PSA/DNA. Don't miss this opportunity to get your hands on a dual-signed photo from Ruth & Gehrig - the opportunity won't soon arise again!
