BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! A Collection of Twelve Modern Photographic Prints of Early 20th Century Baseball Legends Featuring Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Ty Cobb
This collection consists of twelve modern photographic prints on semi-gloss or matte paper depicting prominent figures from early 20th-century baseball history. The images primarily feature Hall of Fame players Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Ty Cobb. Notable subjects within the collection include Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig in their barnstorming uniforms for the Bustin Babes and Larrupin Lous posing with children and a pony. One image shows Babe Ruth in an outrigger canoe in Hawaii accompanied by several individuals including Duke Kahanamoku. This print features printed facsimile signatures for both Duke P. Kahanamoku and Babe Ruth. Ty Cobb is shown in two distinct images, one at bat and another depicting a slide into base. There are multiple action shots of Babe Ruth at bat, including a full-length image of the end of his swing which contains a printed facsimile signature reading Sincerely Babe Ruth. Candid and off-field scenes include Ruth and a teammate sharing a meal while in bathrobes, Ruth smoking a cigar in casual attire, and Ruth alongside an individual in a military uniform. The prints exhibit sharp resolution and appear to be high-quality reproductions of historical archives. No original wet-ink signatures or third-party authentication labels such as PSA/DNA, JSA, or Beckett are present on these items.
Condition report:
The prints are in excellent condition. The surfaces are clean with no visible tears, heavy creasing, or significant edge wear. Image quality is clear and sharp.
