This is a Reach ‘Official League’ ball, signed by Babe Ruth in blue fountain pen across the sweet spot. REA ran this ball in 2007 and their description said in part: “signed by Babe Ruth in blue fountain pen across the sweet spot. Ruth's signature has been beautifully scripted and grades 9.” We feel that was an aggressive grade. The ball is lightly toned and displays a few tiny areas of light discoloration. Originally sourced from the Barry Halper collection. Accompanied by a full letter from JSA.
