Viewed together, this Ruth autograph and the adjacent matching Gehrig example appear to have roots in the pair's California barnstorming days. PCL manager Jimmie "Ike" Caveney accompanies on the back of Gehrig's album page, and San Francisco's own Lefty O'Doul—a fixture of Golden State baseball—resides here on Ruth's reverse. The scrapbook-style, 4-1/2" x 6" page showcases Babe's blue-ink "8" signature and rates VG with an ink blot on the news-clipping image. Full LOA from JSA.
