Capturing the aging "Bambino" in a moment of joy and celebration, Yankees legend Babe Ruth shows off the massive cake brought in to celebrate his 47th birthday. Over his left shoulder is a stunning portrait taken 20 years prior, following the season when Ruth slammed an unfathomable 59 homers in 1921, a mark he'd top six years later. Below the portrait is a personalized autograph in bold black ink, strong and consistent enough to earn an impressive grade of 9 MINT by PSA/DNA. Measuring almost 6" x 8" within a PSA case that measures 9 1/2" x 13", its mere presence in any autograph collection commands attention.
